Brief: Campaign Cash and Waffle Celebrations

Posted on

Here come the campaign ads:

Just since last Monday, the Congressional Leadership Fund has spent $902,448 on the Yoder race, according to the Federal Election Commission. That money has been spent on media production and TV ad buys. That PAC is tied to Republican House leaders.

Outside Democratic groups are also investing heavily in the race. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has spent $154,595 on the Davids’ campaign in the same time period. That money was spent on TV and mailings.

The House Majority PAC, tied to Democratic House leaders, has spent $23,730 buy online ads.

 

“We are right in the center of agriculture country, and we are within 300 miles of six land-grant universities, which produce the students that could fill these jobs. They are graduate-level jobs and many of them are PhDs dealing with agriculture, economics and research,” Hartzler said. “And that is what our land-grant universities specialize in, and they often administer the grants from these agencies that deal with research in various areas.”

 

The University is not currently considering banning Greek life, according to director of news and media relations Erinn Barcomb-Peterson. However, the environment that incited a temporary freeze on social activities in March for all fraternities affiliated with the Inter-Fraternity Council remains “an area of significant concern to the health and safety of our students,” Chancellor Douglas Girod said.

While most controversies revolve around fraternities, sororities have suffered too. Increased anxiety about social stereotypes have left some women skeptical about the process.
