Got this e-mail a little while ago…

Brad–

It certainly is a beautiful morning!

This campaign is fired up after yesterday’s victory but, as much as we’d like, there’s no time to stop and celebrate with the April 20 runoff election just around the corner.

We’re already hard at work. But I wanted to take a brief second to thank you for everything you’ve done. None of this could have happened without you. This is YOUR victory.

You turned out in record numbers yesterday and sent a clear message: COLUMBIA WANTS CHANGE!

You proved that, no matter what the doubters and the cynics think, you still believe in what this city can be. You still believe in Columbia and while others say “WE CAN’T,” you say “WE CAN!”

I am constantly honored and humbled by the faith you have placed in me and the support you have given this movement. Now we have to work even harder.

The April 20th runoff election is only two weeks away and we are facing an entrenched and well-funded opponent. I need you now more than ever. We have to keep the pressure on and give Columbia the Bold New Leadership it needs.

I know we can do it because this election isn’t about me – it’s about you, the people.

It’s about making sure you and your families are safe. It’s about making sure your government answers to you. It’s about making sure that our city is clean and that our wonderful resouces such as our beautiful rivers are protected. It’s about making sure OUR children don’t have to move to Atlanta or Charlotte or Washington D.C. to live up to their God-given potential.

We had a great victory yesterday but now it’s back to work.

Let’s keep this momentum going! Let’s bring A New Day to Columbia. Let’s make history again together!

I still need your financial support – today – so we can make sure every voice is heard in this historic election.

Thanks,
