PWC Candidates’ Cash On Hand Totals

While the Potomac News has the headline, “Pandak leads the way in fundraising,” they conveniently fail to disclose that incumbent PWC Chairman Corey Stewart maintains a cash on hand advantage over Sharon Pandak of $38,388 to $36,842 despite Pandak having raised about $40K more than Stewart.  A quick review of Pandak’s contributions shows that well [...]
