State Rep. Margaret Ann Ruhl (R) - HUGE, EPIC, FAIL
I always thought that my former State Representative Thom Collier was about the worst it could get. Seems I was wrong.
Incumbent State Representative Margaret Ann Ruhl (R) - Mount Vernon, today filed her campaign finance report showing that in the past 6 months she has raised a total of $4,100.00. Of course $800.00 of that was from herself, so lets call it $3,300.00.
That's $550.00 per month. $137.50 per week. $18.34 per day. Should could have done better shaking a can or selling pencils in front of the Riffe Tower.
Even in the minority, Margaret Ann should be able to raise a minimum of $50,000 per year. Over a two year election cycle that would enable her to transfer $75-80,000 or more to the Ohio House Republican Organizational Committee to be used to pick up a seat or two in weaker districts.
I'm thinking maybe I'll run. How could I possibly do any worse?

Last I checked, the job of a legislator isn't to fundraise; it's to do the people's work. So frankly, I don't care how much she raised as long as she's supporting her constituents.
