campaign article

I hear the complaint from citizens all the time: “I wish politics weren’t bought and paid for by corporations”.  Well, this is the year that you, the voting citizen, can stand up and make a change in Evansville.  There are three candidates running for mayor.  I am the only candidate not accepting campaign contributions from corporations, PAC’s or lobbyists.  This means I will owe ZERO favors to anyone if elected mayor!  

I ask that every voter look at the October 13^th election campaign financial report before voting for the next mayor.  I will post it on my website, www.PeopleOverPolitics.vote as well as my Facebook www.facebook.com/MichaelDaughertyforMayor .  Here are some things you should notice:

1.              The other two candidates have accepted donations from out-of-town corporations.  Notice the money coming from Indianapolis for Rascher, and the money coming from ActBlue based in Somerville, MA for Stephanie.  Why are out-of-town entities interested in Evansville politics?

2.   The other two candidates are spending large amounts of money on their campaign.  Please read their CFA-4 and see the hundreds of thousands of dollars being contributed and spent.  Please note the out-of-town company hired by Stephanie Terry, The Guerilla Politic from Detroit Michigan(Resource: Page 4 of 4 – Schedule B – Friends of Stephanie Terry) spending $14,210.32 before the primary filing report, and Natalie Rascher hiring Brabender Cox out of Leesburg, Virginia(Resource: Page 4 of 4 CFA-4 Schedule B – 2023-APR-14 – Friends of Natalie Rascher), spending a disgusting $148,207.00 prior to the primary filing report.

3.  You will notice that as of October 1, 2023, I have spent less than $15,000.00 total on my campaign. 

Who would you rather trust your tax dollars with, candidates who have accepted large amounts of money from out of town and then spent that money on out-of-town services, or someone who will take office not owing anyone and knows how to spend wisely and save your money?”
