I'm not asking for your vote yet.
I'm Jake Browne. I'm running for Denver City Council At-Large. You give fifty dollars and a note about your block. We spend the money in your neighborhood within the week. The receipt goes public, and you can check it.
SAMPLE. NO MONEY RAISED YET.
This one is a sample. The first real receipt replaces it.
How it works
- You write the note. The alley that never gets cleared. The crosswalk paint that faded. The bus stop with no bench. Say where, exactly.
- You give what you can. We ask for fifty dollars. Denver's Fair Elections Fund multiplies small gifts, so fifty dollars can become five hundred dollars of neighborhood work. The note counts even if you give nothing.
- We do the work within the week. Denver people, Denver businesses, paid fairly. Nobody connected to me or my family.
- The receipt goes public. What was done, where, who was paid, what it cost. Every dollar, itemized, on this site.
Where the money goes
About three of every four dollars this campaign raises goes back out the door to Denver neighborhoods: fulfilled requests and free service days. The rest pays for the documentation that proves the work happened, a treasurer, a part-time coordinator, and this website. You won't find a consultant on the receipts page.
The work happens whether or not I win. I'll ask for your vote one time, in October, after you've seen what we did with the money.
The weekly receipt
One email a week: what came in, what went out, what got fixed, nothing else.
