I only spent, and only from my own funds, about a penny per vote county-wide to win 55,548 votes. (updated 11/13 to reflect latest count).
Inspired by the late U.S. Senator William Proxmire (D-Wisconsin), who spent very little on his political campaigns, I relied on name recognition, dogged work on this blog, 2006-2024, for the people of St. Johns County, as a frequent public commenter in government meetings, and years of personal contacts with our friends and neighbors in St. Johns County.
I was honored and proud to receive 55,548 votes (some 38%) for seat 1 on our Anastasia Mosquito Control District of St. Johns County November 5, 2024. I spent only $661.
Check my math: is that a little more than one cent per vote?
Jesus wept.
Fun fact: November 5, 2024 was the 25th anniversary of our moving to St. Augustine.
I still believe in a place called Hope.
And congratulations to Mr. T.J. Mazzotta, who was elected to AMCD, seat 1.
Another fun fact: County Commissioner ROY ALYRE ALAIMO, JR. lost his race, but spent S15.90 for every vote he got.
