Senator Boseman's 2nd Quarter Campaign Finance Report



The NC Board of Elections has just posted Senator Boseman's newest campaign report. The senator has over $100,000 in reserves to do with whatever she wishes. So far she has paid her mother $3,000 in rent and a pig farmer nearly $4,000 to rent his pig boat.

EXPENSES:


The senator used $3913.50 to "rent" the pig king's son, Dell Murphy's boat, the Wolfsea. Of course the pig farmers are represented by the same lobbyist that the senator moved in with last month.

There is no mention of any production costs, or ad buys for any of the new commercials Booseman is running on television this week.

There is mention of paying the senator's mother $1,500 a month rent for who knows what.

CONTRIBUTIONS:


There were 92 donations made to the senator's campaign, over $40,000 was received. Interesting, the State Democratic Party donated an in-kind contribution of $4,358.70 for the big "fund raiser" at the felon's house.
