In this past week: #
- I spent another week refining the volunteer portal.
- I finished the signature-based 80s-style adventure book for canvassers.
- I formed an advisory board which is a small group – a cadre – of trusted advisors, strategists, and volunteers who are helping me get this off the ground.
- I built a fundraising plan to make my personal finances sounds until September.
- I am building a fundraising plan for the campaign to become sustainable by September.
Please consider donating. Small amount early on in a campaign will rocket us to success. Every little bit counts. Thank you!

Hunting the Wren #
This week I want to introduce to you a song from a band I have been following for sometime. When my grandfather was in and out of the hospital in 2023, I found Lankum’s albums “False Lankum” to be strangely cathartic and healing. There is a practice in the Isle of Man, repeated within Ireland called “Hunting the Wren” where school children attempt to hunt down a small bird with sticks and stones.
We must stop hunting the vulnerable and we need to start protecting them.
“They come from all over, to hunt the wren on wide open ground”
In Reverence,
Raymond Chandler III
