Who exactly do you represent?


The following is from ksl.com

"Money Raised by Greg Curtis (Source: Deseret Morning News):
  • Health-care Industry: $50,410
  • Financial Industry: $47,050
  • Real Estate: $20,881
  • Lobbyists/Lawyers: $12,400
  • Beer/Alcohol: $4,000
  • Oil Industry: $3,200
Almost all of his money came from special interests, more than any other lawmaker from health care, financial services, real estate, lobbyists alcohol and oil.

He got money from 31 states, most of it from big corporations like Annheuser Busch, Wal-Mart and PhrMA. Out-of-state cash added up to 95 thousand dollars, 31% of his total.

17 people, $4,135, 1.3%" (Thanks KSL)

Can you imagine how difficult it must be when you are representing 17 people and 31 states?

What a constituency!
