Theresa Fadem (her report is here) has done nothing. In June, she had $1,186.80 in her campaign fund. That's exactly what she has in her most recent report. She neither raised nor spent any money. Republicans couldn't have asked for a weaker candidate from Dems.
But they got one anyway.
Nadeem Qayuum (his report is here) is worse. He's run for Magisterial District Judge ... and lost. He's run for Controller ... and lost. He's married to soon to be ex Easton City Council member Taiba Sultana, who has run for Mayor ... and lost ... and for State Rep. ... and lost. In her campaign for the state house, Qayuum circulated a petition on her behalf and obtained the forged signature of State Senator Lisa Boscola. His chief occupation is following his wife around to take pictures of her that she can then post on Facebook. He thinks the county can raise the minimum wage, but I'm uncertain whether he - like his wife - wants the country to establish diplomatic relations with Palestine.
His campaign fund is called "Friends of Nadeem Qayuum," but it should be "Friend of Nadeem Qayuum. He only had one individual donate to his campaign other than himself. He claims to have raised $650 ($400 came from the Easton Area Democratic Committee) and is in debt for $850.
Both Fadem and Qayuum are terrible candidates.

Poor ol' Nadeem has no friends, which means he has to spend even more time with his wife.
Respectfully, not raising or spending thousands of dollars has nothing to do with a candidate’s ability to actually do the work once elected. The focus should be on qualifications, integrity, and a commitment to serve and not on how much money is raised for campaign mailers that will ultimately end up in a landfill.
Public service shouldn’t be a contest of who can spend the most money, it should be about who can make the most difference.
Your finance reports and your nonexistent campaign reveal exactly what difference you would make - nothing. Sorry. People like to be asked and you have done nothing to ask people to vote for you.
Lifelong Proud Democrat here, and Bernie's right on this one, like a broken clock. You have to convey your qualifications and commitment to the voters to be elected.
Politics is a competition of ideas - how can you do well as a candidate or elected official in politics if you're not willing to develop or market your ideas?
There is a nice article on LVL profiling the candidates. Mr Campo in particular has an interesting story I wasn’t aware of.

Don't petition circulators have sign a notarized statement that they witnessed all of the signatures? Why wasn't he prosecuted?
Respectfully, I have not seen you at any events around the county. If you don’t want to fundraise that’s fine but show up at the bare minimum
Thats funny. 😍
