Contribute to My Campaign
Our movement relies on organic, motivated giving from YOU to mobilize grassroots energy. I am personally grateful for every contribution, conversation, and cocktail that you are able to share. If any part of my platform resonates with you, or you have an idea for how to engage more of our neighbors, consider a contribution. ANY amount helps and I intend to earn your support – and justify your investment in the future of The Bronx.
Multiply Your Contribution
The beauty of New York’s electoral system is how much financial support is provided to candidates in big-ticket races. When you make a qualified donation to campaigns for Assembly in your district, your impact is multiplied by between 8 & 12 times up to $250!*
Please consider supporting Courtland Hankins as your next Assemblymember in the South Bronx’s 84th Assembly District. I am proud to be running on the same ticket as him as we look to change how politics is done Uptown. Simply put, if he wins, I win. You can find out more information on his campaign and make a matching gift here.
*Each time someone donates between $5 to $250, the state uses a formula to match the contribution with taxpayer money. For example, a $50 donation—which is matched 12 to 1—becomes $600. After the first $50, the match rate is 9-1 for the next $100, and 8-1 for the next $100 after that. In this way, candidates get a bigger bang for each donor buck. To unlock matching funds, State Assembly candidates have to raise $6,000 from 75 in-district residents, while State Senate candidates have to raise $12,000 from 150 in-district residents. The thresholds are different from statewide races for governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, and comptroller, which have their own matching formula. Only in-district donations are matched, although candidates are still permitted to continue fundraising beyond this amount within state guidelines.
