After SPIN! "Question to Brad and Rick – Andrew Dunn in the Longleaf Politics blog recently asked how much does it cost to win an election in our state. He studied the amount spent by winning candidates in 2016. His research showed it costs $20 million to win the gubernatorial race, $10 million to win a Senate seat, $1.5 million to win a US House seat and between $200,000 to half a million dollars to win a Council of State race. What’s your reaction to these findings?"
