Your financial support of my campaign is greatly appreciated. It is imperative that we get the word out to new friends and supporters in District 1—any contribution you can make will be helpful towards this goal.

ACCOUNTABILITY in action. Our campaign set an ambitious fundraising goal for the first quarter of 2013. We not only exceeded it, but managed to out-raise every other candidate in the Atlanta Board of Education race. This second quarter, we exceeded our goal again. The amount money we have raised so far IS important to the success of the campaign, but not just because of the dollar amount.
Our donations so far tell a story about the large number of individuals who can back up their donation with a vote–some of whom are parents of school children who believe our schools CAN be better, some are local small business owners who want more accountability for their tax dollars, some are simply people who know me and know that I will try my level best to help ALL of Atlanta's children thrive. Part of my pledge is to bring more ACCOUNTABILITY to this seat. I want to encourage you do your research and learn about how this campaign is financed. Please check out the GEORGIA GOVERNMENT TRANSPARENCY AND CAMPAIGN FINANCE COMMISSION website. Enter the Candidate Name and hit return. Please let me know if you have any questions. This is a TRUE GRASS ROOTS campaign and I just want to say THANK YOU to all of our donors, past and future, for your generous support and your faith in the possibility of what we CAN do to improve Atlanta's schools! – Leslie |
