                                                        across <u></u><u></u>Texas<u></u><u></u>
                                                        with Mark’s name
                                                        and info on his

                                                        the LP for 2
                                                        weeks before
                                                        early voting
                                                        begins. This
                                                        will cost $50k
                                                        and we think
                                                        this is critical
                                                        to
                                                        achieving the 5%
                                                        needed to ensure
                                                        ballot access.
                                                        We’ve raised
                                                        approximately
                                                        $30k towards
                                                        this so far and
                                                        we expect to
