Election Costs
Money Should Not Dictate Election Result!
On January 25th, 2010 Senator Kanavas announced that he would not seek re-election. (See: Wisconsin State Journal Politics Blog: “Kanavas Won’t Run Again.”) The primary election is September 14th. That means with 232 days to campaign and a need to have upwards of $200,000.00, a candidate would have to raise over $800.00 a day — every day — for the entire length of the campaign. And that is just the primary!
What this boils down to is that the only candidates who stand a chance in an election are those with a lot of money or access to a lot of money. What about the small business person that doesn’t have the money to spend? The regular guy that’s just getting by? The single mother? Where do you think their interests and concerns fall in the pecking order?
There are some candidates that claim they are conservative. I have a hard time believing that if you are a true conservative that you would spend that exorbitant amount of money on a campaign. That is not fiscally sound!
I am running my campaign on a very limited budget of my own money. I am only accepting donations of time from hard working people like myself who believe it can be done the old fashion way, with a lot of time and hard work.
If you want a true conservative in the 33rd District Senate seat, you need to spread the word to vote for me in the September 14th primary. My votes in Madison will be reflective on how I run my campaign.
