Thank you for considering donating to my campaign.
I need all the help I can get.
Including financial help, for even though:
I am running against candidates backed by political parties and other organizations that will be putting the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of dollars into winning.
In their candidate winning.
In their interests winning.
Whether or not their interests are the same as ours, as residents and businesses of the great ward of Parkdale-High Park.
And I need your support to make sure that doesn't happen. To make sure the right candidate represents this great ward.
As a bonus, you can get up to 75% of your donation back.
Here's how it works:
| Donation | Rebate You Get |
|---|---|
| $50 | $37.50 |
| $100 | $75.00 |
| $200 | $150.00 |
| $300 | $225.00 |
| $500 | $325.00 |
| $1,000 | $575.00 |
| $1,200 (max per candidate) | $641.67 |
Per the City of Toronto's official rebate formula. Rebates are paid to you directly by the City after the election.
So it's a great investment even without the rebate.
But with the rebate, it's a home run.
So please donate early, and donate often. :)
After you fill out the form, I will reply personally with an email with more details on the rebate program and how to donate.
Thank you!
Mike
Some of my earliest memories are from visits to Uncle Alex and Aunt Eleanor's house where the adults all talked politics and public service.
It obviously had an impact, as I've spent my life volunteering and serving my communities.
But serving in public office is something more. More than a family tradition.
It's a duty. And it's my duty to serve.
After 24 years of absenteeism and mismanagement, the councillor for Parkdale-High Park is not running for reelection this year.
There is no incumbent.
There are (for now) nine candidates in the race to replace him.
The field is wide open for the right candidate to win.
And I know that candidate is me.
I've lived here and served the community here my entire adult life.
Much has changed for the better in that time. Much hasn't.
This ward needs a candidate who is ready to fight for it. A candidate who can be equal parts diplomat and bull in a china shop.
I've started businesses, grown startups and been an important part of some of Canada's biggest tech success stories.
Over my career in engineering and tech marketing, I've become a veteran communicator, advocate, negotiator, and a persistent fighter when called upon.
I am the candidate the great ward of Parkdale-High Park needs.
I will eat, drink, sleep and breathe being your representative at city hall.
And I thank you for your support.
