American Federation for Children Takes a Bath in 69th Assembly Primary Race

Kulp wins Republican primary to replace Suder in 69th AD. (Marshfield News Record, 10/22/2013) 

Excerpt: The race was dominated by the American Federation for Children’s support of Feddick. The Washington, D.C.-based conservative special interest group with ties to the American Legislative Exchange Council spent more than $45,000 bombarding the district with mailings, Internet advertisements and robocalls as they attempted to help get Feddick into the general election.

Oopsies!

$45,000  AFC
$33,000  Money that Feddick lent her campaign
$  3,000  That the article doesn't account for
$81,000   Total campaign spending

Those 723 votes cost her $112.03 apiece.


Kulp spent about $20.000, which translates into $12.14 per vote.
