Democrat Betsy Markey, who is running against Angie Paccione in CD-4, has apparently hired Peter Cari of Cari Strategic Consulting to do her media. Cari has done a lot of state party work and has done media for the National Education Association.
Hiring Cari is all well and good, but you can’t buy a lot of air time without a lot of money, and Markey only raised $36,000 in Q2. Markey did write her campaign a $25,000 check last quarter, and she has told people that she plans to put a lot of her own money into the race. The definition of “a lot” could be of vital importance if she continues to have trouble raising money.

Markey and Paccione both are putting together high powered and expensive teams. This is going to be a truly nasty primary and the only winner will be Musgrave
According to the “Statesman” BM had hired Envision Communications for media, now she is switching to Peter Cari for media? Did Envision quit or did she fire them? Not a good sign for that type of fast campaign staff turn-over.
I guess as stated by pols, “The definition of “a lot” could be of vital importance if she continues to have trouble raising money.” So I guess people do not want to give BM any money so she is going to pay for it. IS THIS DEMOCRACY OF THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE OR OF THE RICH AND FOR THE RICH?
I don’t really know her background and I can’t imagine Ken’s office pays that much. Is she sitting on a pot of gold?
Her and her husband both are quite well off.
is a surefire route to a devastating loss.
But in this case the worst thing BM could do is self fund. If she is getting no traction then self-funding is a way of ignoring that problem.
If she doesn’t do exceptional in fundraising in the next 2 quarters she’s done. AP can just ignore her and still win the primary.
$25,000 of which came out of her own pocket. How is BM going to buy this race?
Being rich does not mean you have to buy a race. Is Pols doing the same?
He is matching 1:1 all donations under a certain amount. Makes him work hard for the money and it’s viewed as a reasonable approach by most.
