Better late than never. Here it is- the numbers are a little higher than I’d like- mostly due to mistakenly mailing postcards to people who voted early in person (although, with the number of them that returned, we’re going to have to do a little investigation). We’ve taken in some donations post deadline, since we’ve [...]
I’ve been reconstructing the database of donors on my site. Apparently, I misread the deadline, which was today- the 14th- as the 24th and thought I had more time to finish rebuilding my campaign finance report from the documentation I had. I’m sorry. The finance reports are up- and show an ungodly amount of money [...]
When the Montgomery County Democratic Party chose to endorse Nan Whaley in the May 7 “primary/run-off” election, instead of endorsing both her and longtime Dem A.J. Wagner, they made a major mistake. Two candidates will advance after May 7- so, they could have endorsed two, but since they aren’t really there to elect Dems- just [...]
You won’t see me, David Greer or Mayor Leitzell on a tv commercial between now and May 7. In fact, you won’t ever see us on a broadcast tv spot. It’s a stupid waste of campaign money. Why? TV stations cover the entire region- from Celina to Middletown, Eaton to Springfield. We only need to [...]
On May 7, 2013 a small percentage of Dayton voters will go to the polls to narrow the field of candidates for Dayton Mayor and City Commission. It’s a rare election in that we even have this choice, since most times, the Board of (S)Elections manages to keep most of the potential candidates off the [...]
As the candidate that tries the hardest to keep voters informed, I’m posting a PDF of my campaign finances before the 4pm deadline today. It shows that I raised $3455 by the deadline of the 19th- spent $2650 so far. I had two fundraisers that brought in $805. If you look at this report, just [...]
The battle has begun. Yard signs are popping up- but, most of them aren’t in yards so far, they are in the right of way, on public property- or even in vacant lots. The signs are placed by overzealous campaign workers working for campaigns with lots of money. Signs aren’t cheap- I just got David [...]
Why would elected officials hire a lobbyist? Isn’t that what we elect them to do? Represent us? The city of Dayton spends money on lobbyists, directly, and indirectly via funding to organizations like the Dayton Development Coalition. In all my years of following the Dayton City Commission, I don’t recall them having meetings with state [...]
