Despite the heat (upwards of 90 degrees F), our annual Democratic BBQ saw even more people than anticipated! Well, maybe getting to eat delicious food without the cooking helped bring the crowds.

 WAYNE COUNTY FOR ROBIN SKIBBER JUNE 9 EVENT AT THE DUNSMORE'S

All are welcome and while donations are encouraged, if you want to come and hear and meet Robin, without making a financial commitment, that is fine as well.  Our goal is to get Robin elected and the more people who meet and hear her, the better her chances are.

The Host Committee is now over 25 names, which is fantastic and bodes well for Robin's campaign.

SUNDAY, JUNE 9, 2024

  • 2:00 PM 5:00 PM

  • DUNSMORE'S

  • 500 MYRTLE AVENUE

  • HAWLEY, PA, 18428 (MAP)

We had a significant showing in Tuesday, April 23’s primary and special elections. We thank everyone who voted by mail and those who came out to vote in person - it was a lovely day! - as well as all who volunteered.

From Sean Strub, mayor of Milford and longtime activist:

·      Robin’s race showed she “overperformed” (meaning more votes than would typically be expected of a Democratic candidate in the race) by 10 or 11% district-wide. But in some districts in Pike County portion of the district were even more dramatic:

 o   Blooming Grove (where Robin lives) +27

o   Dingman +17

o   Milford Borough +23

o   Westfall +17

·      Olsommer’s campaign finance reports show cash expenditures of $132,199.79 and in-kind expenditures of $63,811.80 for a ginormous total of $196,011.59 (which surely must be a record for this seat, by far).  Robin was outspent by Olsommer 46 to 1.
