There will be a campaign contribution statement form that you will need to submit later on in October, and I will send more information to you about that as I get it. Attached is the Fall Election Calendar with relevant dates. Please be aware that the candidacy
deadline on the calendar is wrong and that the deadline is September 29th. <br>
