The Pitch...

I need your help. Plain and simple. Successful candidates who are not incumbents in municipal elections generally spend around $10k. Money buys exposure, attention, advertising, people's time, signs, posters, muffins, coffee, and the thousands of other things needed for a successful campaign. I don't happen to have $10k lying around, so we can hopefully do this together! A spare $10 or $20 will go a long way when we all put it into the same pile.

What's it all for?

In the next month my campaign needs money for the following endeavours:

Marketing - Perfect Day, a small design/advertising firm located in beautiful Ward 2, have been doing work for me to brand my campaign, prepare election materials, and generally market me to the public. I need more money to ensure that they are able to continue getting my name and face out there.

Website Design - My website is currently plain... to say the least. I need money to redesign my website to look slicker and have a greater ability for individuals to engage in the campaign and offer creative solutions to municipal issues. 

Events - I am planning several public events in the coming months (such as community cleanup’s) and I need money to properly promote, plan, and execute these events. 

Why do it?

These donations are not tax-deductible. That means that people who are willing to donate to my campaign recognize that there is a greater value to becoming involved in the process. By supporting candidates who have a genuine desire to affect positive change in this city you help us all out. I am confident that I can win this election and make real changes which will make St. John's a better place to live for all of us.

What else can I do?

I understand that everyone is not in a position to make a monetary contribution such as this. Thankfully the only thing I need more of then money is volunteer time! If you would like to volunteer one, ten, or a hundred hours of your time during the campaign, please go to www.VoteAndrewHarvey.com and follow the link to indicate how you would like to be involved in the campaign (I need everything from soup to door-knockers).
