<div dir="ltr">Interesting sidebar: in 2014 I did design work for a candidate in district 21. I'm a reasonably good designer but my work is nothing special. However, when I saw the caliber of work being produced for some of the other campaigns, I was appalled. When I asked the district 21 candidate--a friend of mine--she said this was normal. I was doing the work for her pro bono, but she said that many campaigns spend big money on design & printing costs.<div><br></div><div>I don't know anything about Mitchell's campaign/funding but there is evidently little correlation between money and the quality of campaign materials.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 13, 2016 at 9:56 AM, Andrew Nosal <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:andy@mapcenter.com" target="_blank">andy@mapcenter.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">You got me.
