Friends and Family --
Right now, there are potential voters in your area -- folks who support what you and I are fighting for -- who will only vote if you reach out to them in these final days.
Maybe they don't know the stakes in this election. Maybe they've heard too many of the lies coming from the other side about what this movement has accomplished.
Or maybe they just haven't been paying attention.
Whether you contact them by Tuesday will determine whether they stay home or proudly cast their vote.
There are thousands of get-out-the-vote events this weekend all across the country, where OFA supporters will work together to reach every voter who needs to hear from us." Its takes the people!"- Papi Perez
As we look at the challenges that the 2nd Ward faces, and indeed those that Chicago faces as well, the next Alderman of the 2nd Ward will need to be someone who can bring people together to solve very real and pressing problems. Whether it is condo turnover issues or the lack of jobs in many areas of the ward, or whether it is school overcrowding or a lack of school choice, or whether it is an uncertain business, regulatory or zoning environment, or whether it is rising crime or the lack of quality affordable retail stores, or whether it is a city budget with multi-hundred million dollar deficits or an inequitable distribution of TIF resources, or whether it is simply a belief that your concerns are not being listened to or responded to, the next alderman is going to need to bring all parties together, put all options on the table, have an open mind, and do the hard work of solving these problems.
So once again, I would like to ask for your help and support.
With almost 40,000 registered voters in the 2nd Ward, there is much work for me to do to reach as many of these voters as possible between now and February 22. In the coming weeks, I will be having or participating in fundraisers, meet and greets, coffees, candidate forums, media interviews, email blasts, direct outreach efforts such as phone calls and knocking on doors in all parts of the ward, and possibly a few other nice surprises. My wish is to get my message out there that "There Is A Better Way!"- Enrique G. Perez
As campaign manager I make a commitment to run a fair and honest race that is responsive to all of the people of the 2nd Ward. Let’s work together to improve our neighborhoods and communities. There is a better way! Vote Enrique G. Perez on February 22. PUNCH#57
