Straight from the Top Clarke herself this letter prepares us for the second and hopefully final special election in the 40th City Council District.

It goes a little something like this:

"A word about Dr. Mathieu Eugene's Campaign for City Council

April 24 Vote

We are coming down to the final days of this campaign, and thankfully, we are very encouraged by the responses of the people to Dr. Eugene and to the campaign as a whole.

It is important that we do as we did last time - that is, each of our supporters reaches out to 10 friends, family and colleagues, persuading them of the importance of combining our strength in this common purpose. We will send a message again, that we are here, and we shall not be denied. We are focused and will not be distracted from our goal of making this a better place for our children to live in.

I ask you not to get distracted or fooled by those who know nothing about our community and mean us no good, but want to use us to get to places and then forget us.

Watch out for deliberate lies and efforts to discourage and prevent you from voting!

As a special election, even non-Democrats can vote. We know that there are a few of them out there, so please reach out to them to join in this historic moment."
