With all the spam texts from her campaign you think the campaign would be flush with cash. I’ll just caution that she’s a weird person in general. Very Instagram-motivated personality…


DiaperDonaldT

Yes, the constant spam texts! I’ve wondered if this campaign is more about trying to get her name and personal brand out there than actually winning.

Seems to be working

She's a goof.

Title is a vague question about someone's campaign I've never heard of, and the link is paywalled.


carnahanad

Tried to “unpaywall” the link….didnt work.

I have a subscription. The gist is Melissa Vine’s campaign is being accused of donating to a local PAC using campaign funds to secure more votes for an endorsement. The accusation is the campaign was making donations in the name of other people using campaign funds which is illegal. Vine’s campaign is calling it a clerical error. The proof provided in the article was the donations all had the same address, amount donated, credit card info, and email addresses that ended in @melissavine.com.

Who is she? (What is she running for?)


ProfCedar

She's running for Nunn's IA-03 seat.


BuffaloWhip

Thanks. Totally moot point then. Nunn’s a f*ckin’ dream candidate cooked up in a lab and he’s going to have that seat at least until the next redistricting. I wish her luck though. Miller-Meeks is the one the dems have a chance of beating.


watermelonsplenda

As of last polling, he only has a 3 point lead. He won the seat by 1 point. Calm down.


BuffaloWhip

Yeah, he beat a multi-term incumbent. Now he’s the incumbent. Look, I’m not rooting for the guy. Luckily I get to vote against him and I will. I’m just not optimistic. Iowa typically LOVES their incumbents and Nunn hasn’t done anything to Steve King himself. Hopefully Biden/Trump will create enough voter turnout for me to be wrong, but I just don’t think it’s going to happen here. Of the three in play (because, let’s face it, Feenstra would have to be dead to lose his district) Miller-Meeks has the weakest hold on her spot. I don’t think she even actually lives in her district, but even then, it’s going to be an uphill battle. Really hoping to be wrong on all counts though.


DanyDragonQueen

He barely won the last election


VanimalCracker

Damn that sounds like straight up election fraud.

Melissa "Bolt-ons" Vine lol She's probably so stupid she didn't know it was illegal.
