Patty Lynch sure has contributed a LOT of money to her own campaign.....mmm hmmm. (Sarcasm included)
We haven't heard much about the School Board races (Mike is a good bet) but even if Hughes wins, it's a win win for the children of Walton County. Nicks...not so much.

Does the $2500 Amy Wise-Coble raised represent the get on the ballot money fronted by Phony Tony's puppet masters to protect their boy from Democrats, Libertarians and NPAs?

Outsiders are trying to control Walton County !
Beach Fanatic
@Bob Hudson where do you get your figures?
Beach Fanatic
Good info, Bob. Can you do all the candidates?
Beach Fanatic
Outsiders are trying to control Walton County !How are you determining outsiders? Do property owners count as outsiders just because they have a home elsewhere, too? Do renters count as "insiders" because they live in Walton County even though they may not have the same tax investment in the County coffers? No offense meant, just curious.

Seems to be an awful lot of them and us in Walton County. It didn't used to be this way.
Beach Fanatic
Though interesting, I would have to see all the candidates before I would become stressed about that. Are we figuring the cost of the Our Generation mailings and Internet advertising?

I use the address listed on each contributors info. If they own a second home here but list their address as "Birmingham" they would show as a "outside" contributor. I'm not a mind reader so I can't determine an exact answer.
A cursory look at the contributors list seems to show that most are not "owners" of property here.

I'm not a mind reader so I can't determine an exact answer.I might be surprised, but I'm guessing that a lot of those out of state addresses are people who own property here and very much care what decisions are made that affect Walton County. I have met so many people who tell me that they want to retire here, but just aren't able to yet because of the lack of jobs to support the real estate and cost of living. While they may be "outsiders" because they aren't living here full time, they certainly seem to have a vested interest in the County. It is hard for me to imagine that someone who isn't affected by our county government through either property ownership or business interest in Walton County would choose to help fund candidates out of their personal pocketbooks, but maybe it is so. Just one perspective.

Our generation has not contributed to their campaigns. They don't file campaign reports so NO Bob they aren't included.
Beach Fanatic
I agree, but you at one time seemed to have put a number to the cost of those mailers, so I suppose we could guess that may have a significant impact how those numbers impact a couple of candidates.
Beach Fanatic
No, Bob Wells. Soft, anonymous money was not included in determining who is spending the most money. I agree that taking the enormous expenditures by Our Generation into account might very well scramble the list of "biggest spenders" in two of the County Commission races.

I post verifiable data not "I thinks". It shows what the candidates have raised and where they raised the contributions.

I posted nothing about who's spending the most money Mike
Beach Fanatic
Too defensive, Bob. My post wasn't directed to you. This thread was begun with info which indicated by an asterisk the candidates who were the top fundraisers in each race. My post was in keeping with the original topic of Glidewell.
Btw, I gave your post a rating of "informative" soon after you posted it, because it was, in fact, informative. I wasn't attacking you with my last post, simply making a separate point.

Not defensive at ALL Mike - stated a fact as you mingled two separate issues together. Danny's post had nothing to do with "spending" - his post dealt with Campaign Contributions.
Beach Fanatic
And "independent," shadow expenditures could justifiably be counted as contributions. You can see my point now, can't you? And that of Bob Wells, too? I know you don't care for me, but we can agree on some things, can we not?
Beach Fanatic
If they counted as "campaign contributions " they would appear on a candidates financial reports.
Those candidates did not spend 1 dime on those ads and therefore aren't expenditures of theirs.
I understand the difference in the two.

Whatcha wanna bet T. Andersons' contributions increase again next week after the dinner they had at Borago? Rumor has it those invites were about $1,200.00 bucks a pop!
Edit...to many zeros!

I posted this information to try and generate interest in this election because truthfully I am not hearing a great deal of that from the general public. Unless you have the money to self-fund, contributions are necessary. To get your message out you must have money. I am surprised by the lack of money being raised in the Superintendents race and wonder why that race is generating so little interest. I suspect that the national race is generating so much comment and interest that there is little left for local and state races but that is just my guess.
