Read These Shocking Numbers
Sometimes in life you get "blindsided" - hit with something you never saw coming. When it comes to Randy Ramsey and his run for State Senate, you've had fair warning. The release of his latest campaign report verifies what I have been saying for months: Randy Ramsey and his "pay to play" friends are trying to buy an election.
Here are just a few of the figures that jump out at you.
Total receipts of over $367,000.
Ramsey has personally contributed over $180,000. (Why would someone spend over $180,000 of their own money to run for State Senate seat (the Senate annual salary is $13,000/year)? What does Ramsey know that we don't know about being a NC Senator? ~ Lynn)
Over half (52%) of the money generated by personal contributions came from outside the District.
Ramsey received over $20,000 in contributions from Florida, Illinois, Tennessee, Ohio, Maine, South Carolina and Virginia.
One family from a small town in Florida contributed more money than Ramsey's entire hometown of Beaufort.
The report includes a contribution from the N.C. Advocates for Justice PAC, the political action committee of trial lawyers that was the largest PAC contributor in state legislative races in 2010.
The report includes several contributions from individuals who traditional give almost exclusively to Democrats, including Wendell Murphy, who was subpoenaed in the Board of Elections hearings against Governor Mike Easley and was also listed in the list of unreported campaign flights for Bev Perdue. Randy Ramsey was included in that list.
Why would someone spend over $180,000 of their own money to run for State Senate seat?
Why are so many contributors from outside our area and our state pouring money into Randy Ramsey's campaign?
Why is Randy Ramsey running under the guise of a "Conservative Republican" when all the evidence proves otherwise?
The answer to all of these questions is the same: the influence seeker is seeking to become an influence peddler. We cannot let this happen.
There is less than a week until Election Day and Randy Ramsey is flooding the airwaves and mailboxes with distortions of my record. We have exhausted every resource so we need your help now.
