Allegheny County Democratic Post Card

Nothing special, just the usual post card with the list of Democratic candidates from the Allegheny County Democratic Committee.

Allegheny County Democratic Party Mailings

Below are two mailings, both of which I have to assume were put together by the Allegheny County Democratic Party. The first one is pretty nice and put together well. I like the yard signs on the back. The second one is pretty boring and I'm really disappointed with the size of the Allegheny County Democratic Party's website on the mailing. Also, there is no mention of their Twitter or Facebook.

After checking out their Twitter (last update March 11th) and Facebook page (last update March 7th), it appears social media is not the Allegheny County Democratic Party's speciality.

One of these things is not like the other

Below are the mailers sent by Judge Mike Marmo. Different mailers were sent to Republicans and Democrats. Can you spot the differences?

Democratic Mailer:

I think this is a good campaign technique for candidates that have to run on both tickets. Highlight your stances that would work for either party and mail it to the voters of that party. Again, I'm not crazy about using pro-life issues in judge races, sometimes it is hard to win a Republican Primary without at least letting people know your stance.

Richland Township Democrats Mailing

Readers of my blog know I have complained about the lack of organized Democratic organizations in the North Hills. I was surprised to get this mailer from the Richland Township Democratic Committee today. I also was surprised to see that the Richland Township Democrats have a Facebook page and a Twitter account. Glad to see something from the Democrats out in the North Hills.

Handouts on my door

Not too often do we get campaigns knocking on our doors out in the suburbs. I know some housing plans out this way get door knockers, but in general I assume it would be a waste of time to knock on doors when houses are far apart from each other. It appears that a few campaigns have somebody helping them out by putting handouts on voter's doors. I have received 4 handouts on my door over the last few weeks. I'm not sure if this helps campaigns if you don't actually try to talk to a voter, but I thought I would share the handouts with you.

Alex Bicket Mailing

Alex Bicket sent a mailing to Republicans. I think this makes sense since he will receive a boost by already having the Democratic Endorsement and I'm guessing he will send out mail to Democrats also. His website can be found here.
