We are officially just TWO WEEKS away from Election Day!

After months of walking neighborhoods, knocking doors, attending community meetings, hosting meet & greets, making phone calls, putting up signs, raising funds, and building this campaign block by block — we are entering the FINAL STRETCH, and it is truly ALL HANDS ON DECK.

First and foremost: THANK YOU!

Thank you to every volunteer, supporter, donor, coworker, educator, student, small business owner, family member, friend, and resident who has helped power this campaign forward. We would not be here without you. I am especially grateful to my family and closest friends who have carried me, encouraged me, walked with me, prayed for me, and stood beside me every step of the way.

We are almost at the finish line!

A HUGE thank you to the best phone bank coordinator ever — Deaka — for doing an outstanding job organizing dozens of volunteers and helping coordinate hundreds of calls to voters.

An extra special thank you goes out to every volunteer who has joined our phone banks, especially those making calls outside scheduled hours and reaching voters on their own time. I am deeply grateful to friends and family calling from Kansas, Texas, North Carolina, New York, and Florida. Your love and support mean more than I can possibly say.

Meanwhile, we are out walking EVERY SINGLE DAY — mornings, afternoons, and evenings — with family, friends, neighbors, and supporters who have invited us onto their streets and into their neighborhoods. It has been incredible meeting so many new Wriglians and Westsiders!

If you want to join us during these final two weeks, please call or text me directly on my personal cell phone at (562) 572-7313.

We need you.

We are so close.

Let’s finish strong.

With gratitude,

Dr. Vivian Malauulu

Candidate for Long Beach City Council District 7
