The numbers are dismal: Why are so few people in Lake Worth supporting Commissioner Andy Amoroso's opponent in District 3?

The numbers are terrible for Frank McAlonan. He's had more time to try and connect with Lake Worth residents and you would think his campaign contribution numbers would go up from the measly 30% he's raised within the City thus far. Wrong. They've actually gotten much worse. The supporters of McAlonan, for whatever reason, are keeping his campaign very scripted/managed trying to keep him from interacting with the voters. And his campaign contributions from Lake Worth residents reflect that.

By the way, at a staged rally for McAlonan at the Lake Worth Towers yesterday (Friday, 3/11) how many people showed up to meet him? 6 (six). And at least two of them just happened to be walking by on their way for breakfast. If that doesn't get you wondering. . .

Briefly, McAlonan has 5 campaign reports you can see on the City's website. In the first four (M12 [January 2015], M1, G1, and G2) his contributions from outside Lake Worth were a surprising 70%. Only 30% from people living within the City limits contributed money to him and you can read about that here.

The last report submitted prior to election day is the G3 which his campaign turned in to the City on Friday, March 11th and here is the breakdown:

• Total raised on this latest campaign report: $7,077*
• Total raised from people in Lake Worth without the name "Frank McAlonan"? $910 (13%) from 5 contributors
• Three of his contributions came from people who are also supporting the Anarchist's campaign (see below)
• Total contributions from people with the last name, "McAlonan"?† $2,193 (31%)
• Total from all people who do not live in Lake Worth? 86% (that's right, eighty-six percent)

So. . . Why is he getting so little support from the community in Lake Worth? What are all those outside contributors expecting if McAlonan should win? And, lastly, why hasn't he distanced himself from the Anarchist's inflammatory position on violence against the police and law enforcement? Maybe that would explain his lack of support.

The Anarchist candidate Hartman said it's time to "start striking fear, shooting down all cops we see by their selves [sic]."

*The actual amount raised by the campaign is $7,051.95. For the purposes of analyzing the numbers the contributions were rounded off to the closest dollar, or $7,077. That would also explain the missing 1% (86% plus 13%).
†More than half of these contributions ($1,164 or 53%) came from campaign donors in New York and New Jersey.
