Following the Money in the Dowd, Werner Race

Pre-election campaign finance reports were due on Friday. Here's how the money looks in the County Council Easton area race between Mike Dowd and Bob Werner.

Dowd raised $1,500 this reporting period, giving him a grand total of $1,917.83. Abe Atiyeh, who gave him $1,000, was his largest contributor. Dowd spent just $901.70 for what appear to be yard signs. He still has $1,106.13 in his till.

Challenger Bob Werner outpaced Dowd in the money race. He raised $3,385 over this election cycle, giving him $5.186.74. He spent $2,263.80 for yard signs, and is left with $2,922.94.

I may have missed it, but caught no unusually large donations to Werner. He seems to be spending his own money.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
