satisfy this requirement. Typically, COGS Representatives do not dedicate resources or funding toward their "campaigns", often because we are running for the seat we already hold, and/or are running unopposed. However, I have attached a sample Word document
template of the letter I had submitted last year, as each candidate is still required to submit a Campaign Contribution Statement. I've also attached a final PDF version of the letter that I emailed to the Supervisor of Elections, with my signature and date. </div>
