Judy Wasylycia-Leis is asking those who supported her failed bid to be mayor of Winnipeg to help again.

In a message sent to supporters Friday morning,

"While we did not get the result we had hoped for, we were honoured to work side by side with Judy," the email from campaign co-chairs Bob Dewar and Bobbi Taillefer stated. "As Judy’s supporters, you know you can always count on Judy when you need her. Now Judy requires your help."

The campaign spent approximately $20,000 more than it raised on campaign literature, lawn signs, advertising on radio and recycling bins, in addition to other expenses such as a phone bank and office space.

"As Judy’s most cherished supporters, we know we can count on you to help her reach this goal either by donating for the first time or by providing Judy additional support if you have yet to reach the maximum contribution level of $1,500," the email read.

Donations of $25 or more are still eligible for a rebate under the city's policy, up until Nov. 14.
