Jean Schmidt opponent raises DOUBLE in contributions

Put Wednesday, Aug. 29, on your planner because Democratic congressional candidate Victoria Wulsin is throwing a party.

The Indian Hill doctor, who narrowly lost to Rep. Jean Schmidt in Ohio's 2nd District in November, wants to thank volunteers for their help with her campaign - especially because she has raised more money than Schmidt so far for next year's election.*

She's throwing a Volunteer Party at the new Wulsin for Congress headquarters in Anderson. Festivities start at 5:30 p.m.

"Food, fun and a chance to hear Vic speak about her vision for the country and her plan to take back the 2nd District," her e-mail invite says.

The invitation ends with: "We'd love to see you there - and don't forget to bring an empty stomach!"

*Democrat Victoria Wulsin told News 5 she has raised more than double Republican Rep. Jean Schmidt's earnings last quarter. “We're guessing $1 million, $2 million for a mere congressional campaign,” Wulsin said.

We know where the special interests have thrown their lot in.

On edit: This is last November's elections. Still, I doubt the graphs have changed considerably since then.
