Majority of Funds Are From Out Of District Building And Business Interests
Just for fun I posted this little article about trying to buy an election, its votes that count-not how much money you spend.
Giuliani's $50-million delegate
The failed campaign of Rudolph W. Giuliani can claim one distinction: the worst bang for the buck of any delegate winner in presidential politics history.
The former New York mayor, who dropped his Republican bid for the presidency this week, disclosed Thursday in a filing with the Federal Election Commission that he raised $58.5 million and spent $48.8 million in 2007.
With his donors' money, Giuliani captured a single national delegate, in Nevada. At that rate, it would have taken close to $60 billion in spending to capture the 1,191 delegates needed to win the nomination.
HESPERIA — Raising $850,000 in just his first year in office, San Bernardino County 1st District Supervisor Brad Mitzelfelt said he has proven he has strong backing from county and High Desert supporters.
Despite having such a large war chest, Mitzelfelt has been particularly careful about how he spends campaign funds.
According to campaign contribution documents, Mitzelfelt still has a $709,000 cash balance.
“I’m very pleased with our fundraising efforts so far, despite the weakened economy,” Mitzelfelt said.
His contributors range from developers and Indian tribes to doctors and local attorneys.
Campaign documents show that Mitzelfelt has also garnered the support of San Bernardino County-based donors, including some of the county’s deputy sheriffs, deputy district attorneys and firefighters.
“This overwhelming showing of financial support puts Supervisor Mitzelfelt in a strong position to beat back any possible challenge,” said William Abernathie, president of Safety Employees Benefit Association.
So far, only Barstow City Councilman Joe Gomez has announced intentions to run against Mitzelfelt this fall.
