Campaign finance reports detail Guckian’s cash flow woes; ad war between Block and Foulkes escalates

Nearly one month after Republican Aaron Guckian boarded a private plane to Florida in search of donors for his dwindling campaign account, he still hasn’t submitted the requisite paperwork showing his travel expenses. Meanwhile, the GOP nominee has less than $3,000 cash on hand — a tiny fraction of what Democratic nominee and frontrunner Helena […]

Political Notebook: Question 8 surpasses Question 3 as most expensive ballot question

An early-October burst of spending by opponents of an attempt to eliminate the recreational marijuana industry has pushed the total amount spent on that measure (Question 8) to nearly $6.5 million. That’s a good chunk more than the $5.9 million spent for and against the all-party primary question so far.

Here’s why you should view polling results on ballot questions differently than those on races between candidates

We've been conditioned for years to read polls based on who is ahead, but we should not apply the same "horse race" lens used in candidate races to ballot question polls.
