The Sun has taken on the task of conveying to readers the amount dollars spent per vote received by the mayoral candidates ("Dollars spent per vote in Baltimore mayor's race," April 30). Why not do a similar one for the senatorial candidates?
I am proud to say that I got more votes per dollar than any other candidate running for office in this primary. On a budget of $415, I received 6,617 votes (as of May 2).
I would like to thank all of the voters who supported my candidacy!
The Jaffe Movement has won another moral victory in its effort to get rid of money in politics and to put a stop to career politicians. This success demonstrates that we can get money out of politics. If you add together all of the dollars spent by all of the candidates in this primary, you would come up with a figure that could go a long, long way to improve the quality of life for Maryland citizens. And isn't that what it is all about?
Ralph Jaffe, Baltimore
