| The first fundraiser for The Sutton for Mayor 11 was held today, June 1st, on the east side of Flint. Kayamone along with staff members and volunteers went door to door to collect cans and bottles to raise money for the campaign. During the fundraiser, many citizens voiced their opinions regarding the current crime rate and economic crisis that Flint has been faced with. Kayamones thoughts and opinions regarding these issues fell upon receptive ears. The fundraiser also marks the start of an aggressive grassroots campaign to promote the candidate and take notice of the concerns of the community. Further fundraising efforts are currently in motion as well as other efforts to reach out to the community to promote youth community activism, youth voter awareness, and address solutions to the issues affecting our city. Todays fundraiser was deemed a great success. Campaign staff members are optimistic with the progress to be made in coming months. |
