MEASURE W TEACHER MAY DAY CHALLENGE MATCH UPDATE
With just one day left for the $9K by May Day teachers match, the Yes on W campaign is just $1,210 from their goal!
This funding is key to ensuring absentee voters have the information they need in hand when ballots go out next weekend. We know that nearly 70% of voters in San Mateo county vote absentee - and Redwood City isn't very different. These voters tend to vote early, within three weeks of receiving their ballots, so timing is critical. We can't wait until election day on June 5 to remind them to vote Yes on Measure W.
Help ensure a strong mailbox campaign by giving today at www.betterrwcschools.org.
Please support Measure W with your endorsement, time, and vote. We urge you to vote yes on W because Redwood City deserves great public schools! |
DON'T MISS OUT... ONLY A FEW TICKETS LEFT!
