Ed,

How much money has  Mr. Stanton raised so far?

Are there any strategic benefits to this campaign besides for an increased vote total of the candidate does not win?

In addition to Mr Hayes' questions, I like to know what plans there are for using

this money.  Does Mr. Stanton have a campaign staff?  Is he actively campaigning

around the state?  

This late in the campaign season I think it highly unlikely that this small an amount

would accomplish much in increasing vote totals.  I'd rather not blindly give money 

to candidates and work toward a formal candidate support mechanism for future

elections.

$1300 since the primary.

  per Christina Preston (fundraising specialist for the campaign)

  The money would be primarily used for radio ads

  The goal  is to be included in a debate with the D and R

  at present one poll has Paul Stanton close to the 10% to be included

I'm with Ken Moellman on rewarding effort.  I would only support this motion as matching new funds

raised by the Stanton campaign.  $1300 is an anemic amount for a serious U.S. Senate candidate to 

have raised and I don't want other candidates to be encouraged by LNC largess to not fund raise on 

their own behalf.  

As with the gentleman from MA seeking LNC support, I would also need to see a detailed plan of how

the money is to be used and what the expected outcome would be in return for our support.

I largely agree with my colleague from Indiana.  A goal has been identified here; I'm not entirely sure it has national significance, but let's say it does for the moment.  What I am interested in is:  can the goal reasonably be achieved with the amount of money requested, and will the money requested make a difference in achieving it?  I don't need a detailed plan, but I do want confidence, however I can get it, that the money will actually make that difference.  This can be shown in various ways - past success, campaign organization, or detailed plans.  

In this case, my initial thought is that a candidate who can, with $6300 get to 10%, could also get there with $1300, or, more to the point, would have raised more.  However, my mind can be changed.  Do we have polling data that shows a radio ad can push him over the 10% mark?  Do we know how his name ID is running?

Good morning,

Our campaign is statewide.

We have a staff of over a dozen active volunteers around the state, including three doctorate-level and one masters-level senior advisers (in the areas of communication, law, the middle east, and economics). They coordinate efforts and events with additional volunteers in their area and with eachother.

In the recent PPP poll, we were at 10% in this race.  Hitting 11% in the election will equal about 1 million votes, setting records for the Libertarian Party, and drastically changing the political dialog in the critically-important swing state of Florida.

Thank you,
Christina

We have one co sponsor so far (David Demorest)

Other questions I have been asked :

                                                           Is Paul Stanton  campaigning statewide?

                                                           Does he have a staff / how many ?

                                                           Is there a strategic reason to donate to the

                                                           campaign? (ie ballot access in 2018 or 2020)

Please let me know

Ed

Perfect! 

My treasurer just got back to me. It's been 1300 since the primary. 

Thanks again!
