State Rep. Margaret Ann Ruhl (R) - HUGE, EPIC, FAIL

By The Pullins Group LLC

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?
