The campaign has taken off and we are on our way to Victory in November. It is efforts like yours that has made this possible and I am humbled to have such wonderful support. To keep the momentum moving forward, I am asking for your assistance.

I am asking that each Friend of the Downing for Houston campaign help in the following ways.

Please visit here to contribute $10.00, $25.00, $50.00, $100.00 or whatever you can. The first financial reports are due July 15th and if I can show a substantial campaign balance, it will send a strong message to my opponents. The campaign has a great head start on this goal, but we have to push forward to keep the momentum going.

The second way is for each of you to send this message out to your friends and family that live in District A. Have them call me so I can express my passion for this campaign or email me at Jeff@DowningForHouston.com to be added to the email list and encourage them to send a donation as well.

June and July can be recording setting months. There is plenty of time before the July 15th deadline. Let’s see how many new supporters we can add and how much we can add to the campaign account. Your generous contribution will allow me to continue to campaign and bring serious issues to Houston City Council. This is essential for the viability of my campaign and together we can make it happen. I want to make this campaign successful and know that with the support of each of you, it can be accomplished.

Thank each and every one of you for being supportive and a valuable member of the Downing for Houston Team.
