This isn’t new for me. When you’re a Black woman in one of the most forgotten parts of the state, you get pretty used to operating on an uneven playing field. So I knew that I was entering this race with bigger barriers to overcome than my opponents… especially when it comes to fundraising. You see, I don’t have the generational wealth to self-fund this campaign. I don’t have corporate lobbyist friends who can cut me checks at a moment’s notice. But I have something far more powerful: a team of grassroots supporters standing up to the status quo. I also have a $15,000 mid-month goal to hit before midnight tonight, and while my opponents may not sweat something like that, I really do need your help. [This fight may not be fair, but we’re fighting anyway. If you’re in to win, will you chip in $27 before midnight, so we can hit this mid-month goal and make it all the way to Congress? >>](~/AAPPAAA~/RgRnXxOEP0TEaHR0cHM6Ly9zZWN1cmUuYWN0Ymx1ZS5jb20vZG9uYXRlL3RtLWdhLWVtP2Ftb3VudD0yNyZyZWZjb2RlPTIwMjMxMjE1X2VtX2ZyX2IxX2ZhaXJfY2wmY2RtYz0yWmFHMTRTbENXSUFkcFY2SHh2Q3M2Wm1wMUQmcmVmY29kZTI9MlphRzE0U2xDV0lBZHBWNkh4dkNzNlptcDFEJnJlZmNvZGVjZG1jPTJaYUcxNFNsQ1dJQWRwVjZIeHZDczZabXAxRFcDc3BjQgplfISOfGWCG2RSUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MUBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAVI~) Now, your $27 donation vs. their corporate cash may not seem like a fair fight either, and you’re right. It’s not. But when you chip in $27, and thousands more people add $27 of their own, it adds up. And that’s how we challenge the status quo of self-funded candidates in our communities and special interests in Congress. As a team. {NAME}, this isn’t a fair fight, but together we can fight and win. [Together, we can send an unmistakable message that our 100% people-powered movement is stronger than any billionaire bankrolled campaign. But it’ll only happen with your support. {NAME}, will you pitch in your first donation of $27 by midnight to power us all forward? >>](~/AAPPAAA~/RgRnXxOEP0TEaHR0cHM6Ly9zZWN1cmUuYWN0Ymx1ZS5jb20vZG9uYXRlL3RtLWdhLWVtP2Ftb3VudD0yNyZyZWZjb2RlPTIwMjMxMjE1X2VtX2ZyX2IxX2ZhaXJfY2wmY2RtYz0yWmFHMTRTbENXSUFkcFY2SHh2Q3M2Wm1wMUQmcmVmY29kZTI9MlphRzE0U2xDV0lBZHBWNkh4dkNzNlptcDFEJnJlZmNvZGVjZG1jPTJaYUcxNFNsQ1dJQWRwVjZIeHZDczZabXAxRFcDc3BjQgplfISOfGWCG2RSUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MUBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAVI~) [DONATE $10](~/AAPPAAA~/RgRnXxOEP0TEaHR0cHM6Ly9zZWN1cmUuYWN0Ymx1ZS5jb20vZG9uYXRlL3RtLWdhLWVtP2Ftb3VudD0xMCZyZWZjb2RlPTIwMjMxMjE1X2VtX2ZyX2IxX2ZhaXJfY2wmY2RtYz0yWmFHMTRTbENXSUFkcFY2SHh2Q3M2Wm1wMUQmcmVmY29kZTI9MlphRzE0U2xDV0lBZHBWNkh4dkNzNlptcDFEJnJlZmNvZGVjZG1jPTJaYUcxNFNsQ1dJQWRwVjZIeHZDczZabXAxRFcDc3BjQgplfISOfGWCG2RSUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MUBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAVI~) [DONATE $27](~/AAPPAAA~/RgRnXxOEP0TEaHR0cHM6Ly9zZWN1cmUuYWN0Ymx1ZS5jb20vZG9uYXRlL3RtLWdhLWVtP2Ftb3VudD0yNyZyZWZjb2RlPTIwMjMxMjE1X2VtX2ZyX2IxX2ZhaXJfY2wmY2RtYz0yWmFHMTRTbENXSUFkcFY2SHh2Q3M2Wm1wMUQmcmVmY29kZTI9MlphRzE0U2xDV0lBZHBWNkh4dkNzNlptcDFEJnJlZmNvZGVjZG1jPTJaYUcxNFNsQ1dJQWRwVjZIeHZDczZabXAxRFcDc3BjQgplfISOfGWCG2RSUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MUBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAVI~) [DONATE $50](~/AAPPAAA~/RgRnXxOEP0TEaHR0cHM6Ly9zZWN1cmUuYWN0Ymx1ZS5jb20vZG9uYXRlL3RtLWdhLWVtP2Ftb3VudD01MCZyZWZjb2RlPTIwMjMxMjE1X2VtX2ZyX2IxX2ZhaXJfY2wmY2RtYz0yWmFHMTRTbENXSUFkcFY2SHh2Q3M2Wm1wMUQmcmVmY29kZTI9MlphRzE0U2xDV0lBZHBWNkh4dkNzNlptcDFEJnJlZmNvZGVjZG1jPTJaYUcxNFNsQ1dJQWRwVjZIeHZDczZabXAxRFcDc3BjQgplfISOfGWCG2RSUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MUBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAVI~) [DONATE $100](~/AAPPAAA~/RgRnXxOEP0TFaHR0cHM6Ly9zZWN1cmUuYWN0Ymx1ZS5jb20vZG9uYXRlL3RtLWdhLWVtP2Ftb3VudD0xMDAmcmVmY29kZT0yMDIzMTIxNV9lbV9mcl9iMV9mYWlyX2NsJmNkbWM9MlphRzE0U2xDV0lBZHBWNkh4dkNzNlptcDFEJnJlZmNvZGUyPTJaYUcxNFNsQ1dJQWRwVjZIeHZDczZabXAxRCZyZWZjb2RlY2RtYz0yWmFHMTRTbENXSUFkcFY2SHh2Q3M2Wm1wMURXA3NwY0IKZXyEjnxlghtkUlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTFAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAFS) [DONATE $250](~/AAPPAAA~/RgRnXxOEP0TFaHR0cHM6Ly9zZWN1cmUuYWN0Ymx1ZS5jb20vZG9uYXRlL3RtLWdhLWVtP2Ftb3VudD0yNTAmcmVmY29kZT0yMDIzMTIxNV9lbV9mcl9iMV9mYWlyX2NsJmNkbWM9MlphRzE0U2xDV0lBZHBWNkh4dkNzNlptcDFEJnJlZmNvZGUyPTJaYUcxNFNsQ1dJQWRwVjZIeHZDczZabXAxRCZyZWZjb2RlY2RtYz0yWmFHMTRTbENXSUFkcFY2SHh2Q3M2Wm1wMURXA3NwY0IKZXyEjnxlghtkUlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTFAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAFS) [DONATE OTHER](~/AAPPAAA~/RgRnXxOEP0S6aHR0cHM6Ly9zZWN1cmUuYWN0Ymx1ZS5jb20vZG9uYXRlL3RtLWdhLWVtP3JlZmNvZGU9MjAyMzEyMTVfZW1fZnJfYjFfZmFpcl9jbCZjZG1jPTJaYUcxNFNsQ1dJQWRwVjZIeHZDczZabXAxRCZyZWZjb2RlMj0yWmFHMTRTbENXSUFkcFY2SHh2Q3M2Wm1wMUQmcmVmY29kZWNkbWM9MlphRzE0U2xDV0lBZHBWNkh4dkNzNlptcDFEVwNzcGNCCmV8hI58ZYIbZFJSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkxQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAABUg~~) Can’t do this without you, Tekesha Martinez --------------------------------------------------------------- ~/AAPPAAA~/RgRnXxOEP0SaaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFjZWJvb2suY29tL3ZvdGV0ZWtlc2hhbWFydGluZXo_Y2RtYz0yWmFHMTRTbENXSUFkcFY2SHh2Q3M2Wm1wMUQmcmVmY29kZTI9MlphRzE0U2xDV0lBZHBWNkh4dkNzNlptcDFEJnJlZmNvZGVjZG1jPTJaYUcxNFNsQ1dJQWRwVjZIeHZDczZabXAxRFcDc3BjQgplfISOfGWCG2RSUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MUBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAVI~ ~/AAPPAAA~/RgRnXxOEP0ScaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS92b3RldGVrZXNoYW1hcnRpbmV6Lz9jZG1jPTJaYUcxNFNsQ1dJQWRwVjZIeHZDczZabXAxRCZyZWZjb2RlMj0yWmFHMTRTbENXSUFkcFY2SHh2Q3M2Wm1wMUQmcmVmY29kZWNkbWM9MlphRzE0U2xDV0lBZHBWNkh4dkNzNlptcDFEVwNzcGNCCmV8hI58ZYIbZFJSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkxQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAABUg~~ [TekeshaMartinez.com](~/AAPPAAA~/RgRnXxOEP0SKaHR0cHM6Ly90ZWtlc2hhbWFydGluZXouY29tLz9jZG1jPTJaYUcxNFNsQ1dJQWRwVjZIeHZDczZabXAxRCZyZWZjb2RlMj0yWmFHMTRTbENXSUFkcFY2SHh2Q3M2Wm1wMUQmcmVmY29kZWNkbWM9MlphRzE0U2xDV0lBZHBWNkh4dkNzNlptcDFEVwNzcGNCCmV8hI58ZYIbZFJSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkxQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAABUg~~) PAID FOR BY TEKESHA MARTINEZ FOR CONGRESS Tekesha Martinez, the first Black Mayor of Hagerstown, MD, is a living, homegrown American success story against all the odds.
