[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Frumin is literally Cheh’s campaign treasurer so he has a full donor list to work from.

Cheh's donor lists have been public since OCF publishes who donates and this goes back for decades. Platforms like ActBlue and Nationbuilder, which all of the campaigns use, provide that information to the candidates and their campaigns. It isn't secret.

In other words, all of the campaigns know who in the ward have been supportive of Cheh over the different cycles. So being the treasurer in and of itself, is not an advantage. As such, the fact that Frumin's message resonates with the voters in the Ward in a more significant way than the other candidates, is a metric that people can go on the gauge support. In the alternative, the lack of support means either the candidate isn't trying or they are trying and the message is falling flat.[/quote]
The lists are public but his job was literally to cultivate relationships with the donors. So he’s already called these people many times in the past and they would at least have some familiarity. They idea that you think it’s all about just the lists themselves tells me that you don’t really know a lot about how this stuff works. [/quote]

LOL, I don't think you understand the role of a treasurer in a local DC race. He had nothing to do with cultivating relationships and everything to do with making sure all the books were right and that the filings with the office of campaign finance were accurate and timely.

The candidate is responsible for the fundraising and "cultivating" relationships.[/quote]

Depends on the campaign.  In the Mendelson campaign, the treasurer is the lobbyist who was hired by the Lab School to fix their lease of the Old Hardy School. I doubt he's a book-keeper. [/quote]

Then maybe learn what the roles were in the Cheh 2018 and 2022 campaigns before you continue to spout falsehoods. [/quote]

If you're going to accuse me of spouting falsehoods please say exactly what was false in my statement. [/quote]
