Dear Friends and Neighbors,

I hope this email finds you well!  It's been nearly 5 years since I began broadcasting my radio show, The Detail. It's been my mission to highlight the importance of local government on the show.  Instead of just 3 minutes of public input at a commission meeting, I wanted to give public advocates a whole hour to explain an issue to the community.

Giving voice to citizens has highlighted important issues!  The Celery Fields.  Lido Pavilion. Single Member Districts. The Detail provides a platform that gives candidates an opportunity to share their ideas in complete sentences, not soundbytes. Exposing dark money in local elections has been a focus of mine, and The Detail provides a means to communicate how special interest money is at work through PACs on City and County races.  We're seeing more candidates who are not backed by dark money running for office.

We need your help to continue. 

Please donate what you can to support the show, and please share this message with others.  You can click this link right now and make a one-time donation, or become a member by donating monthly:  https://wslr.org/membership/

Your donations make a difference!  They keep the lights on at a radio station which serves Sarasota and Bradenton every day.  Your generous donation matters. 

Thank you!

Cathy Antunes
Host, The Detail
