From the Desk of David Pleat

Dear Friends and Supporters:

The end of this week marks the end of the quarterly reporting period for campaign finances. Many of you have already contributed to my campaign and I am forever grateful for your support and generosity.

We are in the stretch run of the campaign and more than ever funds will be needed to continue to communicate the message that has made this, according to the Tampa Tribune, one of the tightest incumbent races in the State. Specifically, funds will be needed for direct mail, television spots and campaign literature. Any additional financial support you can provide to my campaign is greatly appreciated. I continue to devote energy, time and resources to the completion of this successful campaign. I have received endorsements from the Florida Education Association (teachers); AFL-CIO (workers); HandsAcrossTheSand (no to offshore oil drilling / yes to clean renewable energy); and Equality Florida (equal rights for all / fighting discrimination).
