The queens of small-change campaign contributions. By Geniusofdespair

Never have I seen so many $10, $12 and $15 donations to campaigns as I saw in School District 2 campaign reports. Actually it was nice to see.

Dorothy Bendross-Mindingall has 459 donations. I counted 31 $25 donations, 17 $12 donations, 19 $10 donations and one $5 donation. Ronda Vangates has 761 donations of which 59 were $25 donations, 14 were $10 and 15 were $5.

Can you imagine, some actual people giving campaigns what they can afford, instead of lobbyists and corporations taking over the system.

They are facing a run-off tomorrow. In contrast, the school board run-off in District 7, Carlos Curbelo with 666 donations, had 1 $10 donation, no $5 or $12 donations and 11 $25 donations. Hey Carlos Curbelo, why is AMERICAN SMOKELESS TOBACCO CO., LLC giving $500 to your school board campaign?

That is a great thing; giving what you can afford AND volunteering.
