SALISBURY’S PRIMARY ELECTION – THE REAL SURPRISE

Last week’s primary produced few surprises, one being the lackluster showing of Muir Boda, who has been running nonstop since he lost to Debbie Campbell two years ago and now has the support of SAPOA and its affiliated “super donors” of campaign funding. The other two SAPOA/super donor supported candidates – Dryden and Dixon – did not do as well as expected either.

The biggest surprise by far was the much better than expected showing of Laura Mitchell, a little known candidate until recently. Her third place finish, achieved without significant contributions, is really impressive. If history repeats itself next month, she will be serving on the Council.

What I was told was Sapoa did not endorse anyone; they simply picked the most promising candidates in their view and made a contribution to them. From what I have heard
Boda say, he talks more like Campbell and we don't need that(Linens)

Laura has been making her rounds meeting with anyone. Remember when she said she would not accept a blind endorsement. She raised no money, so to speak. Don't believe you 10:22.
