Kuhl’s preprimary filing
Kuhl just filed his first pre-primary report, for the period July 1 — August 28. He raised 116K, a little more than half of what opponent Eric Massa raised. Here’s some things that stand out:
- 1. He spent a lot of money on fundraising, about 25K if you add it all up. About 16K of that went to one group of fundraising consultants: Hammond and Associates. That seems like a lot, given how money Kuhl raised in total.
- 2. He spent $453 at a 7-Eleven in Gettysburg, PA on July 28. Assuming that not more than $150 or so of that could have been for gas, that seems like a lot of Slim Jims, my friends. (I’m not alleging any impropriety here — just a fun fact).

I wonder how much beer you could buy for $303 at 7-11?
Glad to see Randy is wasting his money on fundraisers who take 20%
He also paid for petition-gathers.
All in all, a pretty dispiriting report for Kuhl supporters.
He drives an incredibly tax payer provided gas hog. He probably put $350.00 in at the pump (too bad he didn’t fill up with Jack Davis)…and spent the rest on Slim Jims and Mentos.
It’s 10% for those who can’t do math. fundraisiers take 10%.
Two points:
(a) 15K is more than 10% of 116K.
(b) There’s no way all 116K came from these guys.
Kuhl’s getting ripped off, IMHO.
