Analysis: Unmasking the mystery money in the Phil Berger vs Sam Page contest • NC Newsline

The candidates have raised over two million dollars for their campaigns; it’s a lopsided split, with Berger so far raising 53 times as much as Page. But there’s even more money paying for mailers and ads from well-disguised groups backing Berger or Page. Who’s supplying that money?

FIRST: This 👆 sort of good local politics reporting deserves your click/traffic. There isn’t enough of it anymore.

Anyway, the answer is both complex (in peeling back layers to discover true donors given NC election laws have increased opacity) but also sort of simple for Berger at least — Berger is getting a ton of national institutional GOP $$.

As for Page:

Does anyone think a lot of Republicans are voting for Crockett because they would rather run against her, and Democrats are voting for Paxton for the same reason?

I know people in Texas as different and Republicans are different, but 40% supporting Paxton over their incumbent Senator? The *Republican* Texas House impeached Paxton FFS.

The way you write that, you make it sound like it is a bad thing to be impeached by your own party. In Republican politics these days, that is a badge of honor.

Sarah Longwell played a focus group of Texas Republicans. Yes they know all about Paxton. But they hold Cornyn in really low regard. So much so, that they will for sure vote for Paxton.

Leftists attacking Democrats? Brother, this is a Democratic primary. It’s a Democrat attacking a Democrat. What else are primaries for? Should the incumbent have blanket protection from challenges?

Well…. You know…..those postcards were filled with exaggerations/innuendo at the least and outright lies at the most.

Charles Blackwood is a good man and good sheriff. Virtually everything David LaBarre talks about on the “Meet David” section of his campaign’s website are things the Orange County Sheriff’s Office is already doing or has already done.

Valerie Foushee is no tool of corporations.

Leftists are attacking good Liberal and/or moderate Democrats in these primaries.

Anyone who is using Bernie as a vote for me reason.... Yeah no vote for you.

Bernie is annoying and never owned up to his toxicity in 16
