VCAP: Leadership For VA saves Hanger's Bacon!



VCAP has this post "Senator Hangers finance Report shows problems for his campaign" discussing the fact that Emmett has raised the vast majority of his $$ from Richmond, and could only claim two donors from the 24th District. It gets even more interesting though, check this quote out:

"Hanger’s weakness is certainly Sayre’s gain. Scott Sayre raised penny-for-penny against an entrench incumbent raising $67,202.95. Mind you that Scott Sayre would have beaten the pants off of Senator Hanger had it not been for the Leadership for Virginia PACdumping $25,000 into his campaign the day before the filing deadline to help him save face."


Wow! Can you believe that Scott Sayre would have out raised Sen Hanger, and with almost four times as many donors as Emmett? I can see why though, I ran into Scott last night and he had two fists full of mailers in his hand from his direct mail campaign. It seems that the little guy is for Sayre, he said one of his return letters had a personal note supporting Scott and enclosed 10 stamps. The person said, I don't have a lot to give, but I hope this helps! Scott said he will be using 9 of them, as he'll use one to send back a Thank You Note!

Help change the Culture of the Virginia Senate, invest your $$$ in a VCAP endorseed Candidate!
