First, let me just say how far the HCC webpage has come from the days when I had to file an open records request to get my hands on these things. They’re easy to find now, and all reports are available for everyone who has a report. The only downside is that you can’t tell at a glance who is and isn’t a candidate – you have to look at everyone to see who has a current report – but I can live with that. Kudos for getting this right, y’all.
And so, what you see above, is everyone who has filed a July 2017 report, which is to say the eight non-felonious incumbents, and no one else. Neither Carolyn Evans-Shabazz nor Robert Glaser has an opponent as yet, and there’s a giant void in District 9, where there is neither an incumbent nor a candidate for the position. Someone will be appointed to fill the seat soon enough, and from there we’ll get some idea as to who may be in the running for November, but for now this is all we have.
As you can also see, no one is exactly burning up the phone lines hitting up donors. Again, this may change when and if someone gets opposed, but until then there appears to be no rush.
They are spooked, Chris wants a short term in his new home, so he contributing to exposing what has happened at HCC and people involved, so say the rumor mills.
I did hear that Shabazz has an opponent, a student from TSU. I would not be surprised to see other names appear by the end of the week.
Campaign reports were available before, one had to go in person, they did make it easier by posting online, but it is now harder, and they decided that pdfs took up too much space so they are only keeping 3 years worth. A new era of even less transparency is occurring under the leadership of Maldonado and Capo.
A pdf is very efficient as to space, so who knows why they only keep three years online?
Kuff don’t know how to contact you except using this forum, but today I went and filed as a candidate for District IV. There is one other person running besides Shabazz. At present I don’t have a website but I did put Inside HCC back up. It is my understanding that some people wanted it back because of research being done. http://inside-hcc.com/
I have heard that it helped in the Chris Oliver investigation. I had taken it down about 3 months ago.
