You need Money to reach the goal

There will be a fund raiser for Alex Sink, Chief Financial Officer for the State of Florida in support of her reelection campaign at a private home in West Palm Beach on Monday night.

It will cost a minimum of $250 to get in the door. Unless you are a trust fund kid or an offspring of Warren Buffet, don’t even think about funding a campaign yourself nowadays.

On the other hand on a local level, I would tell a candidate to be prepared to fund it all himself and not to count on any contribution from anyone. The average Lake Worth resident thinks it a big deal just to donate $10 and then go to that campaign fund raiser and eat and drink everything in sight. As money is the lifeblood of a campaign, times are tough right now and it might even be harder this election to raise all that you need.

Suzanne Mulvehill, with some expert guidance, did it right. She went out there and raised the money, her main goal, while a team behind her did all that was necessary and planned the strategy.

Anyone thinking about reaching for the clouds needs to be raising money now!
