How much of this was done under the presumption that this mayor, owing to her already being in office and the presumed political contacts that brings, can raise the most money? Because let me tell you that is all the HDCC give a fuck about. They act like they are there to help, and they are... if you don't need any financial help. If you are raising it hand over fist, then they cough up more.
But the undoubtedly worst part of running for office is "dialing for dollars." It's horrible.
The name recognition was huge for the people voting. And the perception that people will give her money because of that. All the institutional money would have been there for whoever won. However there was another candidate that has money lined up, moreso than she is capable. Union, mostly. If you saw his list of endorsements you'd understand. It was led by Rendell, Conor Lamb and Joe Torsella. Why those folks wasted political capital, I do not know. He is a polarizing, generally toxic person.
There is this belief that the R candidate has a shot here. He's awful. Still has no website. The write up on him on the County GOP page is 90 percent about his activities doing pro-life stuff. He is a big Trump guy too.
Cal, that’s awesome that you did that, I really admire the effort and balls it took for you to do that. It really takes a lot to put yourself out there like that, wish there were more people with your spirit and values who were willing to do so. I’m sure it won’t be your last dance.
As for the R candidate, I don’t know anything about him but thiscommunications company executive and Realtor
Makes me hate him with every fiber of my being.
If you no one will hire you, become a realtor.
Sorry to the realtors out there!
