I've been looking at Open Secrets and I've discovered something very interesting. Republican Rep. Deborah Pryce has only raised $3,300 from Worthington (43085), and $6,450 from Arlington (43220).
(Deborah Pryce lives in Arlington). This might not seem like a big deal, but it is definitely something to examine. Many of the contributions that Pryce received in 2005 were from people with big corporate ties.
Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy is running against Pryce. Kilroy has raised $6,800 from Worthington (43085) and $5,150 from Arlington (43220). Is it possible that the Progressive movement in Arlington has really moved from the grassroots to more mainstream? I've heard that the Worthington Democrats are bringing in new members all the time. Is Pryce really losing support in her district? Everyone I've spoken with has been just disgusted with the direction of the Republican controlled Congress. Will people be willing to vote for change in November?
