Dear John,
Thank you for supporting my candidacy for Bridgeport Mayor.
The media is taking notice of our campaign. The recent Only in Bridgeport article, "Gomes Swells Mayoral Campaign Treasury at Fundraiser" highlights the over 300 supporters who attended our first in-person fundraiser at the Vasco Da Gama Portuguese Cultural Center on Thursday, March 9th.
In addition to the support of individuals, we are very grateful of the 150 business owners who contributed to our AD Book. Bridgeport like any other community cannot thrive without a strong business community and I am proud to have the support of the family owned businesses that keep our city moving. Sixty percent (60%) of our AD Book contributors were local Bridgeport business owners. These same entrepreneurs also own and operate businesses in the towns and cities surrounding Bridgeport, which helps support the economy of our region.
As stated in Thursday's speech, " It is time that we collectively move this city into history making mode. It can only be carried forward beginning with us. No more second chances. This is our movement!"
Again, thank you for your support! Please take some time to view the Digital AD Book from Thursday's fundraiser and go out and support small business in your community.
Together, we will build a better Bridgeport.
Sincerely,
|
