hi, Will. I'm going to post on the Tech 4 Housing Bluesky a correction that you voted for Prop 1A and that we incorrectly stated that you had refused to answer that question in your Saturday May 16 phone call with me. We ask questions like that to assess a candidate's political alignment when we're not certain whether a candidate's published statements and past actions match our viewpoints. In our phone call yesterday, you stated that you're aligned with Tech 4 Housing on most issues. To help us assess that, can you tell us whom you voted for in these recent local elections? Can you respond by 9PM Sunday 5/24? Let me know if you need more time than that:

October 1, 2018 The Honorable Chuck Grassley, Chairman Committee on the Judiciary United States Senate 135 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 The Honorable Dianne Feinstein, Ranking Member Committee on the Judiciary United States Senate 331 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Chairman Grassley and Ranking Member Feinstein: We are former clerks to Judge Kavanaugh. In early July, we joined letters sent to this committee describing our positive experiences with the Judge as a boss and mentor on the D.C. Circuit. Over the weekend, the committee publicized quotations from those letters, creating the impression that they were responsive to the serious allegations raised in the last several weeks. We write to clarify that, like many Americans, we have been deeply troubled by those allegations and the events surrounding them and were encouraged by the initiation of a formal FBI investigation, which we believe is warranted. We hope, for the good of everyone involved, that this investigation will be independent and thorough. Sincerely, Will Dreher, Bridget Fahey, and Rakim

This upcoming event is for the Mayor's reelection campaign. After the mayor speaks and departs, we will discuss other ways in which we can support his re-election. I'm sorry for any confusion my initial email and event invitation caused and looking forward to seeing you on the 16th September. Warm regards, Mike
