September 21st, 2006 — Media, Team Z, The Campaign, Volunteers, endorsements
One of the most frustrating things to watch during the campaign season was reading reports on the fundraising efforts of the Republican hopefuls in the District 48 race. Hundreds of thousands of dollars were being split between the likes of Peter Nehr, Ken Peluso, Brian Flaherty and Robin Borland.
Yet after a rough and tumble primary where four candidates were vying for one ballot slot, those massive war-chests have been depleted and the playing field has been leveled. You can see for yourself on the state fundraising reporting page for Peter Nehr and Carl Zimmermann (simply click on the “campaign Finance Activity” buttons at the bottom of each page). The cash-on-hand for both candidates is just below $8600 as of this writing. This makes financial donations to Carl’s campaign vital right now because they give him the ability to continue competitiveness with Commissioner Nehr in the financial arena.
Make no bones about it, Carl has an excellent shot to win on November 7th. Dissatisfaction with and among Republicans are leading more and more to to voice their support for Carl and his campaign. It takes more than dissatisfied voter base and financial donations for a candidate to win though. It takes the hard work of volunteers and supporters to help get-out-the-vote. We’re close to launching a Campaign Canvassing Caravan and will give more details soon.
