#TeamPete! Do you like smart Midwesterners running for mayor? Do you like progressive problem solvers who believe in relational organizing? Do you like blue and yellow as a color scheme?

Then join me and support @GaviBegtrup for Mayor of Cincinnati! 1/

This Thursday at 8 PM ET I'm hosting a virtual fundraiser for Gavi, and I hope to see many of you there!

We'll have Q&A with Gavi followed by a cocktail class – a great way to spend a Thursday night!

Want to learn more about Gavi first? Read on 2/

Ever wish more politicians were scientists?

Gavi's a PhD physicist who's worked on Capitol Hill as a AAAS Fellow and advisor to Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. No wonder @314action endorsed him!

(And hurray for #scipol! @jonathan_moch @KaylaJanae @Steph_Guerra) 3/

Gavi's also an entrepreneur and a community leader. He's started high-tech companies in Cincinnati instead of on the coasts. He helped set up a majority-minority magnet school, and he really believes in public education 4/

Need more? Here's @GaviBegtrup at a mayoral forum talking about the role that building highways and tearing up streetcar lines played in segregating our neighborhoods.

Public transit, urbanism, and equitable growth, all in under one minute? Yes, please! 5/

One more thing: Ohio's picking a senator and a governor next year. If we want Democrats to win these races, we need to turn out voters we take for granted.

We need grassroots effort in local races now, not just millions of dollars in ads next year. 6/

For all these reasons and more, I hope you'll join me in supporting @GaviBegtrup and donating to his campaign. See you on Thursday! 7/
