PANAMA CITY ? Republican Marti Coley has a substantial fundraising lead over her Democratic challenger David Pleat, but the majority of donations are from out of the district.
Coley, who represents District 7 in the Florida House, has raised $177,941 since she began taking contributions for her re-election campaign in February 2009, compared to $34,377 for Pleat.
However, less than $22,000 of that comes from people and businesses with addresses inside the district, according to campaign finance documents. Donors who live near the district, including many in Panama City, Lynn Haven and Panama City Beach, also donated to her campaign.
Pleat said because the majority of Coley?s contributions come from out of the district, her steep fundraising advantage doesn?t necessarily translate to an advantage in November.
?I think absolutely it has no bearing on where voters are at,? he said, adding contributors to his campaign are almost all district residents.
Bryan Cherry, campaign manager for Coley, said her campaign feels the monetary advantage ?is an indication of voters? preference.? He said donations to her campaign have come from across the district and ?It?s a pretty good indication she?s done a good job.?
Donations from out of the district also indicate strong support for the candidate, he said. ?People aren?t going to put their money in someone?s campaign if they don?t feel he or she is doing a good job,? he said.
In the month leading to the general election, Pleat said he plans to meet with district residents.
?The most important thing is and always will be making contact with people in the district,? he said.
The Coley campaign plans to use their fundraising advantage to reach as many people as possible, by sending out mailers and meeting with people face to face, officials said.

A candidate who gets most of her money from outside her district is obviously going to vote to support issues important to her constituents. 
Coley's been bought and paid for by lobbyists.

Like Rubio and Scott--more deceptive and dishonest candidates. Who on this politico Board is actually voting for these candidates who are lacking ethical morals..and, more importantly, why? Please, I neeeed to know.

I am really glad to be a Pleat supporter after reading through the campaign finance reports. As a small donor who gives the little I can afford when I meet a really worthy candidate, I'd really be upset if I were paying for a candidates haircuts and gas when they weren't driving to a campaign event.

Uh, no. It's staggering to look at the difference between the expenditures of the two candidates.
http://election.dos.state.fl.us/candidate/canlist.asp
One has used lobbyist money to pay for every meal and tank of gas they've used for the last two years. One has not taken one meal or tank of gas out of the campaign funds.
To me, it seems like the difference between Coley and Pleat is best seen in these campaign reports. Pleat is getting small amounts of money from voters in this district and spending the money on things directly related to the campaign, and Coley is spending lobbyists' money on all her personal living expenses plus a bunch of donations to non-profits. I wonder if the way they spend campaign money will have a correlation to the way they spent taxpayers' money.

I prefer candidates who don't take money from non-local interests. But does that discount a candidate? For example, if a democrat running for office was receiving lobbyist money and his/her republican challenger was receiving only small local donations, would you then vote for the republican? What's more important? Voting track record? Message? Party affiliation? Character? The source of political donations?

Honestly, I have sat and met with both of the candidates in this race. I've talked to David Pleat about everything from class size to the plethora of pain clinics in south Florida. I sometimes think it is a shame that Pleat is so closely associated with opposition to near shore drilling, because often people think that he is a one issue candidate. He has a great legislative mind, and is able to jump ahead and think of the consequences years down the road. I don't agree with David Pleat on every single issue, but I know ultimately he will be a powerful voice for District 7.
This is an excerpt from an article I wrote about one meeting with Marti Coley:
Later in the day we met with our area representative, Marti Coley. Rep. Coley was gracious enough to meet with us personally (Sen. Gaetz delegated his receptionist to meet with us). She listened to each of us speak about our opposition to drilling off our coast, and ask that she support targets for renewable energy consumption. Rep. Coley seemed determined to straddle the fence -- expressing concerns about the military impact of drilling, sand acknowledging the overwhelming opposition to drilling voiced by the citizens of District 7. However, she also spoke of the need for jobs in the interior parts of the district and the hope drilling might create jobs. We reminded Rep. Coley that the top producer of wood stove pellets in the country, Green Circle, is located in Cottondale and that the company has said it would build a second plant and double the number of jobs it provides her district if Florida had renewable energy targets in place. Finally, an area business leader repeated his request that as a coastal representative, Rep. Coley help lead the fight to protect our shores against oil drilling. I have to say this for Marti Coley ? she is forthright in a way I find refreshing in a politician. She said that she would never become a crusader against drilling, because the incoming leadership was championing the drilling bill, and if she did go against Dean Cannon she would, ?lose her seat at the table.? She wanted to be involved in the inner circle, so she would be able to have some influence what is included in the bill.
The concept of that seat at the table is what I left Tallahassee thinking about. At first, there was part of me that could relate to the need to not stir things up, to be nice and hope to be able to play some quiet role in the process. As a woman who spent years working in a department of men, in a division made up of men, in a corporation run mostly by men, I know the value of being a team player. Sometimes keeping quiet and smiling while gently trying to fend off the absolute worst of the worst ideas is the most effective role allotted to a woman in an old boys? club. Unfortunately, I cannot get past the second thought ? this woman is our elected representative. Does she not feel she has earned her seat at the table? Even if she gives voice to the will of the people of her district when they don?t agree with the incoming leadership, that seat belongs to her and she should be strong enough to insist leadership allow her room to do her job. A representative's seat at the table comes not from the largesse of Dean Cannon (R ? Winter Park), the man chosen to become Speaker of the House next year, but from the people of District 7 who elected her to office.
Senator Gaetz? seat at the table is not a prize for good behavior to be awarded by Mike Haridopolos (R - Melbourne), but the huge coastal constituency. District 4 stands to have it?s entire economy jeopardized if oil rigs are erected, as they would be clearly visible from the coast. A threat to our tourism-based economy is not only a threat to those who work in the tourist industry, but every person who works or does business in this area.
What I find unsettling is that our elected representatives would support party leadership that demands loyalty and silence in exchange for that seat at the table. Why are our democratically elected representatives to a deliberative body supporting Dean Cannon and Mike Haridopolos to be Speaker of the House and President of the Senate, respectively, when these men would deny them a seat at the table if they were to stand up and fight on behalf of their districts? How are these men fit for positions of leadership if they have so little respect for the constituents Rep. Coley and Sen. Gaetz represent?
My point was simply this -- Representative Coley is playing the good girl card to excuse the fact that she refuses to work in the best interests of our district. She is a yes woman, and votes lock step with the Republican leadership. It is unhealthy for this area to be dominated by one party, so that the Party becomes more important than the people. Dean Cannon is not going to make District 7 his top priority. David Pleat will. David Pleat is a fiscally conservative, thoughtful and intelligent family man who would serve all the people of this district well.
As far as issues go, what does Marti Coley stand for? Her issues page is very light and non-specific. Further, I can name about three examples of her voting in ways that are in opposition to her stated positions. Re-elect Marti Coley, Florida House - District 7 - Top Issues

I just don't seem to get it, you just vote for the R's for the sake of the R's, does that mean you will vote for a RINO. You had problems with UNION support of Pleat to find out Ms. Coley has UNION support and recieves money. You seem to contridict yourself

Actually I was thinking of Allen Boyd and Steve Southerland. Boyd is totally hooked into K-Street. He's not put a single dime into his own campaign, relying instead on PAC money.
Individual Contributions $526,360 (30%)
PAC Contributions $1,211,452 (68%)
Candidate self-financing $0 (0%)
Other $43,844 (2%)
Southerland on the other hand is 100% individual contribution funded.
But I'll bet most of dems on this board will vote for Boyd regardless.
My point being that contributions are important to pay attention too. But I seriously doubt most folks use it as a deciding factor. (Any care to disagree?)

Southerland is too nasty, too extreme in his opinions, and too vague about how he actually proposes to change things.
I'm not a huge Boyd fan (would love to hear him justify the massive agricultural subsidies he gets and that are voted on by the Congressional committee he serves on), but I will probably vote for him instead of Southerland.
Energy policy is a big issue for me and he gets a severe thumbs down on that one. Ditto on his gun views, deregulation, reduced taxes, that Medicare/Social Security are sacred and should not be changed in ANY way, building a physical border fence ASAP, making English our official language, etc.
The only thing I agree with Southerland on is the importance of education.
(And I am basing my opinion of Southerland based on his own materials, not any opposition or attack ads.)

Yeah Southerland is a mixed bag. Family values (ugh) mixed with an unwillingness to tackle major issues. He's sort of parroting the religious conservative talking points. Not a fan him. On the flip side, we have a guy who's earmarked millions, voted to pass ObamaCare, and is in tight with K-Street.
Another race where I'm not a fan of any candidate. Neither of the two independents appeal to me either. I'll have to hold my nose and pick someone on November 2nd. Totally sucks.

I can't vote in these races, but, I certainly have a vested interest in who wins when you own beach property--- especially after a tragedy like the Deep Water Horizon spill. I have to wonder if I would have had the time or need to submit a $6.34 reimbursement for a working lunch at Panera Bread or reimbursed myself for a computer valued at over $1000, especially if 1) I was an educator, 2) My income was over triple the medium income for my County and 18% of the residents live below the poverty line in Leon. But, hey, that's just me. I also would question what in the world she was storing that cost $1580. :shock:
I also found this interesting and have would like to know when these questions where asked by the Tallahassee League of Woman Voters - excellent questions, of which she had no comment to submit, but David Pleat did. They have not posted them yet, but he obviously did.
I also found this interesting and have would like to know when these questions where asked by the Tallahassee League of Woman Voters - excellent questions, of which she had no comment to submit, but David Pleat did. They have not posted them yet, but he obviously did.
Question 1: The Deepwater Horizon oil spill and its impact on Florida?s environment and economy has made energy policy an immediate concern to our citizens. In 2009 and 2010, Florida's Legislature failed to enact a Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) requiring electrical utilities to provide 20% of their energy from renewable sources by 2020;(1) theLegislature also discontinued funding its popular solar rebate program. Projections by researchers at the Florida Solar Energy Center at UCF show that if Florida enacted the renewable standard, it would cost Florida households 42 cents a month the first year, would be revenue neutral by the third year, and by 2020, would generate $900 million in state revenue.(2)(a) PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY YOU DO OR DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE STATE TO EXPEND $50 MILLION IN 2010 TO POSSIBLY SECURE $900 MILLION IN 2020.
(b) WHAT OTHER SOLUTIONS TO FLORIDA'S REVENUE SHORTFALLS WILL YOU PURSUE IN THE GREEN ENERGY SECTOR
THAT WILL MOST DIRECTLY BENEFIT THIS DISTRICT?
Candidate did not respond.
Question 2: Florida's Legislature has applied accountability measures like the FCAT and standardized end of course exams to students, to schools, and most recently to determine teacher pay, retention, and promotion. (a) WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IS AN ADEQUATE MEASURE OF YEARLY PROGRESS? (b) HOW, IF AT ALL, SHOULD THE SAME MEASURES BE USED TO ASSESS TEACHER PERFORMANCE OR PAY? (c) HOW SHOULD SUCH STANDARDIZED MEASUREMENTS ACCOMMODATE INDIVIDUAL VARIATIONS IN STUDENTS?
DEVELOPMENT AND MATURATION RATES?
Candidate did not respond.
Question 3: Florida is a low-tax state; state government collections for 2010-11 are projected to be 3.1% of personal income?the lowest in 40 years. Florida's 75% reliance on sales tax means low income
families pay a 5-times higher effective tax-rate than the affluent (the poor pay 14.4% of income while affluent pay only 2.7% of income in taxes).(3) Moreover, Florida now spends a larger share of its budget on prisons than all but two states while we rank 49th in per person spending for education and thousands of citizens wait on lists for critical services.(4)Florida can no longer depend on people new to the state to pick up the tab for long time residents. After many years of huge population growth in Florida, Florida has stopped growing. It is predicted that population will remain flat until 2012 and will then grow at only half the rate we saw previously.
(a) GIVEN THAT FLORIDA'S CURRENT TAX SYSTEM HASN'T BEEN MODERNIZED IN OVER 60 YEARS, DO YOU BELIEVE IT CAN MEET THE GROWING NEEDS OF STRUGGLING RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES TODAY AND MAKE WISE INVESTMENTS IN OUR FUTURE PROSPERITY?
(b) WHAT PLANS, IF ANY, DO YOU HAVE FOR MODERNIZING FLORIDA'S TAX SYSTEM AND MAKING IT MORE EQUITABLE FOR ALL CITIZENS?
Candidate did not respond.
Question 4: WHAT ACTIONS WILL YOU TAKE TO EITHER STRENGTHEN OR WEAKEN FLORIDA'S CURRENT RIGHT TO REGULATE?REVIEW, ACCEPT OR REJECT?OIL AND GAS DRILLING PERMITS IN FEDERAL WATERS NEAR FLORIDA'S COAST? (Florida has this power now because Florida?s current Coastal Management Laws forbid drilling
in Florida's waters.(5))HOW WILL YOU ACT AS LEGISLATOR TO PROTECT AND ENHANCE FLORIDA'S ECONOMY BY CHANGING, OR NOT,
FLORIDA?S COASTAL MANAGEMENT LAWS?
Candidate did not respond.

From what I've read, Boyd voted for TARP, for stimulus, and for ObamaCare reconciliation when each of these bills finally passed the House. Correct me if I'm wrong. He also voted for the 2009 Omnibus bill, which expanded federal discretionary spending by around 10%. Over his career he's earmarked hundreds of millions in funds, much of which translated into campaign contributions from the beneficiaries. Take a look at his campaign contributor list and ask yourself why companies like Boing, General Electric, and various national banks are contributing to his campaign...
