Less than six months since Shirley Horton won re-election, the field for the next election is already shaping up, and one candidate is attempting to use his fundraising ability to scare off potential Democratic opponents.
Auday Arabo, profiled on his work webiste here, has been saying privately that he would raise $500,000 in his run for the Assembly, and he has publicly, and rather boldly, claimed to already have raised $180,000.
From the Capitol Morning Report (Subscription Required):
- Auday Arabo, a candidate in the 78th AD, reports raising more than $180,000 at his campaign kick-off fundraiser on Feb. 23 where Asm. Alberto Torrico and former senator Wadie Deddeh were speakers. Contact: Heather Wright 916 712 6344.
This proves the point that the race in 2008 will be very different than 2006 where the primary winner, Maxine Sherard, won the primary without even raising the $50,000 required for a campaign filing.
