at the door
Melbourne races are decided by a few hundred neighbors talking to each other. An hour of your time genuinely moves this.
Donate
Buy the mail and the signs
I’m not in this for the paycheck. 100% of my council salary will go to Melbourne nonprofits. What this campaign actually needs is enough communications and signs to reach Melbourne voters before Election Day, and that is what a contribution buys.
Where the money goes
- Messaging to Melbourne households
- Yard signs, which stay free to any neighbor who asks
- Door hangers and palm cards for the streets I can’t get to twice
- This website and the digital outreach around it
- Meet-and-greets and neighborhood events
Other ways to give
Prefer to write a check? Email hello@johnbruce.me and I’ll send you who to make it out to and where to mail it.
Not able to give right now? Knocking one street is worth more to this campaign than a check. Sign up to volunteer or put a sign in your yard instead.
Before you give
By contributing, you confirm that:
- You are a U.S. citizen or a lawfully admitted permanent resident.
- You are at least eighteen years old.
- The contribution is made from your own funds, and nobody else is providing or reimbursing the money.
- You understand that contributions to a candidate for local office are not tax deductible.
- You understand that Florida law requires this campaign to collect and publicly report your name, address and occupation.
Florida also caps how much any one person may give per election. If you have a question about the current limit, email hello@johnbruce.me and you’ll get a straight answer. See the Terms of Service for the longer version.

Yard signs
Put one in your yard
A sign on a busy corner in this district is worth more than a stack of mailers. If you’ve got a spot, I’ll bring one by and put it up myself.
- Free. There is no charge for a sign
- I'll deliver, install and collect them after the election
- Corner lots and busy streets are especially helpful
