MUTH’S TRUTHS

Yeager Quits, Carpetbagger Moves In — And Erica Neely’s Ready for Round Two

Let’s hop in the Wayback Machine and dial up March 2024.

With just a couple days before the close of filing for office, no one had stepped forward to challenge Democrat Assembly Speaker Steve Yeager in Assembly District 9.

Drew Johnson SHOULD have thrown his hat into that ring, but he was worried that Yeager would get mad and eliminate his wife’s government job.

So he decided to run for Congress instead.

Wanting to change things in our lousy education system, and not wanting Yeager to get a free pass, Erica Neely decided to take on Goliath.

By the time the primary in June rolled around, she’d raised only $377.18.

In mid-August, a mutual friend sent her to my campaign training program, and she and I started re-organizing her campaign together.

That included a strategy to get $100 or less donations so the donor’s name wouldn’t appear on Yeager’s radar screen since many people in politics were afraid of incurring his wrath if they gave to his opponent.

By the end of September, Erica had raised $28,321 – with over $2,000 in donations of less than $100.  Impressive. But too little, too late.

It simply wasn’t enough to crank out mailers before mail-in ballots went out and early voting began.

But it was enough to pump out three mailers that hit in the final week before Election Day.

Again…too little, too late. HOWEVER, get this . . .
