Today’s the day you’ve all been waiting for, Virginia political junkies, as – are you sitting down? this is exciting stuff! LOL – campaign finance data for the 1st quarter of 2017 start rolling in.
Seriously, though, how much money candidates raise is kinda important, even it seems kind of boring/inside-baseball, because money…well, the world doesn’t go ’round, you can’t tell voters how wonderful you are and how awful your opponent is, etc.
With that, I’ll post numbers here as they come in via the State Board of Elections and VPAP. Let’s start with an election that’s actually happening tomorrow, between Jacqueline Smith (D) and Jackson Miller (R) for Clerk of the Circuit Court in Prince William County. My question on this one is simple: why haven’t Democrats given Smith enough money to match Miller, or at least come close? I mean, PW County only went for Obama twice and Clinton by a big margin…
Jackson Miller (R): $157,806 plus $77,500 in “last-minute money”
Jacqueline Smith (D): $35,535 and no “last-minute money.”
See below for more money numbers as they come in (note that I’m abbreviating “Cash on Hand” as “CoH”)…
