District 32: PACs Go Big for GOP Incumbents; Indivs Favor Dem Swanson

Here's a quick breakdown of the District 32 House money race between Republican incumbent gunbernatorial patronage beneficiaries Brian Gosch and Kristin Conzet and their sole Democratic challenger and teacher Jackie Swanson:

donations
Gosch
Conzet
Swanson
small indiv $8,015.00 $425.00 $7,900.16
big indiv $1,500.00 $650.00 $3,050.00
Parties $200.00 $460.00 $116.34
SD PACs $16,050.00 $10,850.00 $2,450.00
out-state PACs $5,550.00 $1,650.00 $0.00
candidate cmtes $0.00 $250.00 $0.00
in-kind $10.75 $0.00 $700.00
total
$31,325.75 $14,285.00 $14,216.50

Now let's break that down by percentage:

donations
Gosch
Conzet
Swanson
small indiv 25.6% 3.0% 55.6%
big indiv 4.8% 4.6% 21.5%
Parties 0.6% 3.2% 0.8%
SD PACs 51.2% 76.0% 17.2%
out-state PACs 17.7% 11.6% 0.0%
candidate cmtes 0.0% 1.8% 0.0%
in-kind 0.0% 0.0% 4.9%
total
100.0% 100.0% 100.0%

Every two out of three coins in Gosch's fountain splashed in from political action committees. Conzet got five sixths of her kitty from PACs. Swanson has gotten more than three-fourths of her campaign cash from individual donors, over half from folks giving a hundred bucks or less.

The Republican incumbents appear to be the PAC picks. Swanson appears to be the people's pick.

  2. Why did you intentionally take your blog off the line right as the IM15 Regressors are getting theirs? I hear that people are out yelling in the streets about you people wanting to raise our taxes and give them just to you.

  3. Believe me, Grudz, I had no such intention. Pure operator error.
