Delegate Candidates Release Fund-Raising Totals

"There's a clear contrast in the types of races that are being waged in Virginia," said Brian Reich, editor of Campaign Web Review. "One is the traditional, media-driven kind of campaign that uses expensive television advertising. The other kind of campaign, which Englin is running, uses a grassroots effort to create a much larger and more committed group of supporters." More than 20 percent of Englin's fundraising total was collected on-line, an accomplishment that puts his candidacy at the vanguard of using technology for political purposes. "The Englin campaign's use of the web is above the level of many congressional campaigns," said Reich. "I'm sure that's driving their unusually high rate of on-line donations."
