We’ve been wondering what it might take to win a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives as a Congressman. In the 18th district we found the following stats. You might ask yourself as you consider this data what your vote is worth to each of them. As for one of these individuals, we are fairly certain he should use his GOLDEN health care and get some hearing aids as he apparently can not hear his constituents.

Candidates that match specified criteria:

In looking into the 10 times bank roll we wondered where the almost 1 Million dollars have come from? In doing some research we found this on a Cleveland.com site: http://www.cleveland.com/open/index.ssf/2009/09/zack_spaces_rent_payments_crea.html

Zack Space’s rent payments create mystery, GOP says

By Stephen Koff, The Plain Dealer

Democratic congressman Zack Space of Dover, Ohio, owns commercial property that he has rented to various tenants, including a dress shop, a florist and some lawyers. As a candidate for reelection, his campaign organization rented it, too, paying $900 a month through 2008 and into May of this year.

That’s a common practice, and ordinarily there would be no mystery to the Federal Election Commission reports that show the Zack Space for Congress Committee wrote checks payable to Space Rental Company.

Except there is no Space Rental Company.

No such company is on file with the Ohio secretary of state. The Space campaign confirms the company does not exist.
