John Barrasso is actually the best doctor in WY

I know what youre thinking "Did Dentali estimate and breakdown in detail the expenses and fundraising of the Anderson Campaign month by month?"

The answer is yes... yes I did

I don't need to be more paranoid, im not fun on drugs and have never taken addie.

Basically, i took breakdowns from all statewide pennsylvania races averaged it and rounded it down. Then I took breakdowns of spending on races in terms of percentage on different things and revenue sources and then averaged it. Then I divided by the number of months the campaign is running, and put some random variation in them but they add up to the same amount.

Where would one get such data... besides Open Secrets?

So on average the campaign would bring in a half million per month, in feb, Anderson brought in $462,400. On average republicans in PA receive 18% from Small Individual Contributions and so I said that in Feb Glen received $117,160 in Small Individual Contributions in feb.

When it comes to spending campaigns actually need to be transparent so I looked up accounting records on open secrets, which breaks them down by categories. I found on average most campaigns spend 3% of their expenses on "Event and Food Expenses" so out of the $496,359 the campaign spends monthly (again no media buys yet) I figured it would cost $32,727 a month for "Event and Food Expenses".

The potential issue that could arise in the calculation, unless accounted for, would be the difference in revenues between months, with the higher percentages in the initial post-announcement period, and the run-up to the election both factors. In Anderson's specific case, the very early commencement and running of his campaign would likely see reduced revenues relative to a the calculated average, from campaigns whose mean income holds more a more fertile period as a greater percentage of the whole, though from a role play perspective, it would too be too significant of an issue.

That being said, it is very impressive work.

Yea he actually addresses that in the post, the first two months after announcement, had a higher than average amount of money and the rest have been hundreds of thousands of dollars below the average. The $24 million amount that Scott Wagner raised (and I mainly based this on) raised the fund in 12 months, and Anderson is doing it 22. So he is bringing in less per month than the IRL republican candidate.

No. American Dream is an independent construction, though I can answer questions, if you have any.

Phew, finally. I just needed to know like what the "departments" or any internal divisions were, or maybe if there were/what were the secretarial positions. I know that's poking at an odd topic, but don't worry, it will be make sense soon enough. :)

Let me level with you about Brantley v Anderson, even if you lose its fantastic practice. My first character Fowler was/is a trainwreck but I learned so much. I took over Brennan because I wanted to practice running a campaign, he got his ass kicked but now i'm doing much better with Anderson and Samara. So keep your guy, practice.

Damn, Sanders/Lee could've been such a good ticket, but our girl Barb went with the cop instead. Oh well...

That is a very vague question, an organization of its size had extensive regional and operational divisions, and secretarial positions are too numerous to specify individual ones, if that is your request.

If you have a specific question for a character background or something of the sort, we could sort that out via telegram.
