Pac-ing it up
Campaign finance info will be coming in by way of drips and drabs this week. Most candidates won’t even file (or pop into the mail) a report until today.
One report that is in comes from the N.C. Realtors PAC. These folks raise and give lots of money.
It caught my attention that they have given Rep. Maggie Jeffus, a Democrat and former school teacher $2,250 this cycle. Meanwhile, Jeffus’ Republican opponent, Rep. Jim Rumley, doesn’t seem to have gotten any money from Real Pac, and he’s a “Real Estate & Property Management Owner/Broker” according to his web site.
Jeffus’ 3Q campaign report isn’t filed yet, but Rumley’s shows no contributions from political action committees of any kind.
In the “also of note” category, the Jefferson Pilot State Good Government Committee seems to still be collecting cash from the folks who work for what is now Lincoln Financial. Click here for an index of their reports. If you check out the 3Q report, you’ll see no spending, other than on bank fees. It looks like the committee spread the wealth in the second quarter.
