Good morning,

FYI - This weekend Allie Petrus and Samuel Sanes will be announcing their ca=didacies for Governor and Lt. Governor, respectively. They will make a str=ng team and will be running as Democrats. Petrus is a former senator (over=ten years ago) and current businessman. Sanes is a current senator from ST=. Sanes will most likely garner the large Hispanic vote on STX. Petrus is=fairly well liked and respected on STT but not well-known on STX.

Albert Bryan and Angel Dawson are in talks to join forces. Albert is popula= on STX as Dawson is on SIT. They will be running as Democrats as well. T=ey are definitely much stronger running together than separately. They nee= to decide who runs in the top spot.

Both teams can beat Mapp. They will duke it out in the primary but whomever=gets through the primary has a really strong chance to beat Mapp. The lat=st polling shows that Mapp has high negatives and the daily news stories ar= not making things better for him.

You best bet is to give wide but nominal support in the primary to solidify r=lationships and then strongly support the winner of the primary going into t=e general election.

Reminder: you are a registered independent so you can't vote in the=primary.

With warm regards,

Cecile
