I’m still waiting to get the actual financial filing documents that the school board candidates had to file yesterday, but the early results are startling.
Mickelson seems to have the SF GOP behind her in fundraising (though she says she is independent from her husband). She has raised $20,000 and spent $7,800. Makes you wonder if a couple of invoices were held off until June 1st. Like I said before, her signage alone around town has to be close to $10-12K.
Dobberpuhl has raised around $2,000 and spent the entire amount.
Not sure if the other candidates have raised any or spent. I do know that Robinson does have some yard signs up and has given out printed handouts.
I expect a full on media push by Mickelson in this last week. Like I said, though the school board is a non-partisan race, the SD and SF GOP just can’t stand to let one of theirs lose, so they will outspend the other candidates, which seems at this point by ten-fold.
Pretty pathetic when voter turnout MIGHT hit 2,000 voters. Divide and conquer, the Republican way.
