No PACs required: Gordon online fundraising beats expectations
An email from Democratic secretary of state nominee Ken Gordon reports that online fundraising has beat expectations by 66%:
We wanted to raise $15,000 on the website kengordon.com in the last week of the reporting period. Over $25,000 came in! We had over 500 individual contributors. It is extremely encouraging considering that we don't take special interest PAC contributions.
The email goes on to take Gigi Dennis to task:
I believe that in this case she bowed to pressure from Republican lawyers to do something partisan. Yesterday, I called on her to delay the effective date of the new rules until after the election. I pointed out that new rules that take effect in August of an election year are burdensome. I thought that asking her to extend the effective date, rather than revoke the rules, might be an easier pill for her to swallow, but she declined.
