Dear Family, Friends and Supporters of Rey Garduño for City Council District 6:

It’s re-election time!

I’m excited to announce that I’ll be seeking another term as District 6 City Councilor! For the second time, we’ll be running publicly financed.

The Clean Elections process begins on May 1^st and we need your help to ensure that we qualify for public financing.

What you can do? Come door-knocking with us to gather the $5 qualifying contributions and petitions. It’s simple and easy, just ask folks to sign the qualifying form and contribute $5 to democracy. This will qualify me to run as a clean candidate for City Council District 6 this fall, and not have to take campaign contributions from special interests. All we need is 300 $5 contributions and 600 petition signatures. Please join us on Sunday, May 1^st from 10am-1pm at my home, 414 Vassar NE. If you can’t join us on Sunday, come another day! The calendar is below.

Please email us at reygarduno@gmail.com to confirm your attendance.
