The Debate Over Filing Fees
| February 18, 2010 | Posted by engagedcitizen under ACDC, Allegheny-County, Elections, Endorsements, Politics |
The Allegheny County Democratic Committee is raising the fee for candidates for State Legislature to file for the ACDC endorsement (PG article). Apparently, the fees were too low, allowing for widespread competition (i.e. democracy). Perhaps this is a delayed reaction to the Clean Sweep movement of 2006 or perhaps its just good, old-fashioned old boys’…

Allegheny County Endorsement Results
| February 11, 2008 | Posted by committeegrrl under 2008, ACDC, Endorsements |
Yesterday, the Allegheny County Democratic Party held their endorsement meeting at Heinz Field. There was some grumbling about the change of location – the endorsement has been held at the IBEW in the past. I did some searching but the Pittsbrurgh bloggers haven’t said much about the endorsement. This republican blogger has decided he won’t…

Why yesterday’s election was bad news for Pittsburgh Democrats
| November 8, 2007 | Posted by andrea under 2007 November General Election, ACDC, Elections, Pittsburgh, Rant |
Without going too overboard on our now-elected mayor’s shortcomings (and hey, what human being doesn’t have a few flaws), it seems to me that yesterday’s election proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Pittsburgh Dems could run a stuffed panda bear in the general and beat any candidate the Republicans could offer. I’m with Pittgirl – the old…

| August 27, 2007 | Posted by Seenster under ACDC |
Last Thursday the Young Dems held their first fundraiser in many months at Leftys in the Strip District. There were 20-30 people there, which was a good crowd with many new faces. Both Don Walko and Joe Preston showed up and mingled. Word on the street is that Preston already has a challenger for his…

Is Mark DeSantis still running for mayor? Has anyone heard anything from…

Update: The Machine Works!
| May 12, 2007 | Posted by insider under 2007 Primary, ACDC, Elections, Endorsements, Pittsburgh, Politics |
This is an update to two previous posts: Koch-ing Up a Storm and Opinion Askew. The machine is working and there’s proof. Yesterday the Post-Gazette reported that Jason Phillips was fired from his position on Deborah Todd’s judicial campaign for notifying the press about the illegal phone call he received from Jeff Koch’s Council office…
Opinion Askew
| May 10, 2007 | Posted by insider under ACDC, Civic Engagement, Endorsements, Pittsburgh, Politics |
An opinion piece in today’s Post-Gazette touts the “new” Democratic Party in Allegheny County. However, this piece is written by the most biased of parties, the Party Chairman himself, Jim Burn. Granted Burn put himself forth as a reform candidate when he ran for County Chair, at least when he met with several young committee…

In a story that should surprise noone, City workers have been documented using taxpayer resources to campaign for an incumbant Council person. The story was first reported by Maria at 2PJ here and by Agent Ska here. It’s also being covered by the Trib and the P-G. According to the Post-Gazette, Kevin Quigley–Redd-Up manager and…
ACDC Democratic Digest- Fact or Fiction? Fiction of course.
| May 4, 2007 | Posted by insider under 2007 Primary, ACDC, Blogs, Elections, Endorsements, Uncategorized |
I was perusing the latest issue of the Democratic Propaganda rag the Democratic Digest and I came across an interesting piece of fiction printed towards the end of one of my new favorite publications. DNC/ACDC WALK DAY: Led by Mayor Luke Ravenstahl, the Pennsylvania Young Democrats and enthusiastic volunteers from several local campaigns, several dozen…

In the latest issue of the ACDC Democratic Digest (note this is a pdf document so it may take a bit to load) there is a summary of the ACDC GLBT Candidates forum. GLBT: A good crowd representing the GLBT community in the area met with a dozen candidates and discussed issues of concern within…
