RACHEL AUDI CAMPAIGNS FOR CHARITY

Delegate Candidate Calls Citizens to Volunteer, Bridge Poverty Gaps


Cheverly, MD – Today Rachel Audi, candidate for the 47th Legislative District made an unprecedented announcement in campaigning, that she will be spending part of her campaign time volunteering for charity in lieu of campaigning. She also will be giving 10% of all campaign contributions to charity.



Rachel plans to volunteer for nonprofit organizations in Prince George’s County in order to raise awareness of significant gaps between the poor and the middle income, and to call the privileged to help their needy neighbors.



“Today I call upon you to volunteer. Together we can put the ‘service’ back into ‘public service,’” Rachel said. “I am a Republican for the poor and needy. We must walk the compassionate-Republican walk, and focus on others instead of ourselves.”



According to a 2007 Urban Institute report, communities that have a presence of nonprofits have a corresponding increase in the financial value of homes, which is an indicator of a community’s economic strength.



“The more we volunteer together with nonprofits, the stronger we will become,” Audi stated. “Together we will lift Prince George’s higher. I encourage everyone to make a decision today to choose a nonprofit and volunteer.”



“At the end of the day, I want to go beyond campaigning. I want to make a difference in someone’s life.”



Individuals can volunteer and join the Campaign for Charity at www.AudiForDelegate.com.
