Re: Butterfield has $231,000

Constituents complain about Politician's motives and lack of empathy.
It's sad that of all the problems facing the district, some people have such disdain for someone who openly shares his humble beginnings. It would stand to reason that a candidate who worked his way up and wants to make a difference would at the very least not get slammed for being candid.
Let's stay on topic and focus on the issues that really matter.

Good for Butterfield! After visiting Chad Larkins' website, it is apparent why he has not raised any money.

Try the link I posted.

haven't had the privilege of reading info about Larkins, but your sarcasm is ill placed.

Unlike the first line of Larkin's website about mowing lawns?

'Cause that's exactly where THAT goes.

Chad Larkins has not reported raising any money in the race.

That's surprising given his background of mowing lawns.

Is this a joke?
