The Next Step

Yesterday, we took the next step on our campaign--we filed our Declaration of Intention to Accept Campaign Contributions with the City of Griffin Municipal Elections Registrar, Mrs. Judy Flournoy. Later in the day, we established a campaign bank account with United Bank.

Therefore, we are now in the position to begin accepting contributions, both monetary funding and in-kind goods and services. Our first contribution goal is to collect the necessary qualifying fee, since it is required to get my name on the ballot. Although qualifying is not until August, this is one of the most important expenses of the campaign. The amount of this year's qualifying fee is $403.20.

Of course, there will be many other expenses related to running a successful campaign. Advertising and getting information to the public are vitally important. In addition to word-of-mouth campaigning by my supporters, other advertising items will be needed. I will soon be posting a list of items and their estimated costs, so you can see exactly where you campaign contribution will go. If you would like to donate specific items, like signs, brochures, business cards, etc., please contact me at your convenience.

Thank you so much for your support! I believe with
Dedicated Work, we can reach a Positive Future for the City of Griffin and her residents.

Blessings!
