Less than six months into implementation of the city?s short-term rental (STR) ordinance, the leading local proponent of expanded STRs is raising money for some City Council candidates ?who have pledged to work with us,? according to an email sent by the pro-STR Alliance for Neighborhood Prosperity (ANP). In the email, ANP makes clear that the organization seeks to expand the ?footprint of inclusion? for STRs and increase ?both day count and occupancy permitted? in the city?s STR ordinance.

An ANP email sent last month titled "Call to Arms and Action-All Members City Wide" asked the group?s members and supporters to help raise campaign money by attending fundraisers for two council candidates in particular ? District C incumbent Nadine Ramsey and District A hopeful Aylin Acikalin Maklansky, who until recently served as Ramsey?s legislative director.?
