SCPR SERIES "COUNTDOWN TO PRIMARY" (VOL 3) GONZALEZ DOUBLES UP HAGAN IN FUNDRAISING

The campaign finance reports are out at the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for federal offices up for election in May/November 2018.

So far in the "total" campaign fundraising results Cleveland area Republican Anthony Gonzalez is out fundraising Stark County's Christina Hagan nearly 3 to 1.

The differential is somewhat narrowed for the fourth quarter (year end) reporting period.

From 3 to 1 to 2 to 1:

For being the "anti-establishment-proTrump-candidate," Hagan is finding out that reasonable minded Republicans still have some clout.

Looking at Hagan's 4th quarter "individual contributors" there is very little name recognition and NO Stark County elected officials on her list.

However, in Hagan's report there are a few notables.

First, a cluster of Sarchione Ford employees:

Burton	Ryan	Canton	$1,056	Sarchione Ford	Sales Manager
Clarke	Eric	Leetonia	$2,111	Sarchione Ford	Sales
Fraser	Carvella	Salem	$2,111	Sarchione Ford	Sales
Herchek	Mark	Atwater	$1,056	Sarchione Ford	Sales
King	Dustin	Canton	$1,000	Sarchione Ford	Finance
Meyers	Aaron	Canfield	$1,000	Sarchione Ford	Sales
Springer	Joe	Sebring	$1,056	Sarchione Ford	Sales
Yoder	Royce	Uniontown	$250	Sarchione Ford	Sales

Traux	Todd	Canton	$2,700	Almost Heaven Homemade Ice Cream	Owner
Traux	Todd	Canton	$107	Almost Heaven Homemade Ice Cream	Owner

But as readers will readily note, the Hagan "notables" list is sparse when compared to the Gonzalez list of Stark County notables.

Here is a spreadsheet on the "entire" list of "individual" donors to the Hagan campaign:

Surprisingly enough the "per contributor" campaign donation finds Gonzalez at a $1,293 per not that far ahead of Hagan's $1,237 per.

But Gonzalez had about 50 more "individual" contributors than Hagan.

The real separation takes place in the corporate/PAC contributions in which Gonzalez does markedly better than Hagan.

The next "Countdown to Primary" series volume on Hagan/Gonzalez will go into detail on those differences.
