How much is it worth to be elected to a job that pays $17,640 a year?
Apparently a lot.
In Tuesday’s election several candidates paid more than $1 million to try to get elected to the Virginia House of Delegates. Many of them did not.
According to VPAP, fifteen candidates spent over $1 million trying to get a seat in the Virginia House of Delegates. Nine of those in the million dollar club lost.
Here are some of the highlights:
In District 85, Democrat Alex Askew spent $1,786,980 trying to keep his seat. His Republican opponent Karen Greenhalgh spent $713, 911. For now
Greenhalgh is considered the winner but there could be a recount.In District 83 in Virginia Beach, incumbent Democrat Nancy Guy spent $2,066,614 trying to keep her seat. She was defeated by Republican Tim Anderson, who spent only $543,422.
In District 73, it cost Democratic incumbent Rodney Willett $1.535,899 to keep his seat, by fewer than 3 percentage points. His Republican opponent Mary Margaret Kastelberg spent $711,978.
In District 63, Democrat incumbent Lashrecse Aird spent $1,223,059 to lose to Republican Kim Taylor, who spent only $209,901.
In District 51, Democrat Briana Sewell spent $1,154,953 to hold on to her seat. She did, winning 53% of the vote. Her opponent spent $26,323.
In District 46, Charniele Herring missed the $1 million club by $70,000, spending $930,944. But Herring was unopposed. There were only 1200 votes cast for various write in candidates.
In District 41, soon to be former House Speaker Eileen Filler-Corn successfully defended her seat to the tune of $1,536,059. Her opponent John R. Wolfe reports he spent $463.
In District 28, Democratic incumbent Joshua Cole spent a whopping $1,641,080 losing to Republican challenger Tara Durant, who spent half of that.
In District 27, incumbent Democrat Debra Gardner spent $1,149,938 but lost to Republican Roxane Robinson who spent only $704,633.
In District 12, incumbent Democrat Chris Hurst spent $1,443,697 only to lose to Republican Jason Ballard who spent $720,039. To ad insult to injury, Hurst was pulled over Monday night for tampering with his opponent’s political sign.
In District 10, Democrat Wendy Gooditis spent $2,516,752 and defeated Republican Nick Clemente, by less than two percentage points. Clemente only spent $1,417,021.
District 100 was relatively low key. Delegate Rob Bloxom successfully defended his seat at a cost of $142,400 or $9 per vote. His opponent Delegate Finale Norton spent $446,745 or $38 per vote in her losing effort.
