I reckon when the 106th votes like a Democrat anyway that it really doesn't matter about all the Kennedy signs everywhere.
Sure wish I understood WTF is the point of these fundraising postings.
info.. just info. I appreciate them. Its a good snapshot of the money thrown around in these.
The point is that they give a lot of insight into who the credible candidates are in the primary and which districts are likely to be competitive in the general.
Maybe so, however, once in Lansing, they elect leadership like Modus OpeRandy (note this jackass ranks 11% too), and double down on slime that electioneers Democrats... for a price.
The 86th? 64K flushed down the crapper on a dunce daughter (note in second link the douche-canoe that wrote Lisa's fluff propaganda piece).
F^^k 'em all.
The 107th thing as a toss-up.. WOW is Chatfield freaking Foster out or what? $74 K for a challenger to an incumbent is WORTHY!!
More the better!!
Yeah, that really stood out. Chatfield seems to be the primary challenger with the best chance of beating a Republican state legislative incumbent this cycle.
When there's money being thrown around in excess of what the job pays in a year--we absolutely need to take note that the candidate doesn't care about We the People, but power unto themselves. Very enlightening.
Uh-oh... a presidential election is going to snap your bands,
