East Broward Voters Buried Under $1 Million In Mail In Scorched Earth Senate Race

The bloody battle for state Senate District 34 was fought with roughly 60 mailed advertising flyers from candidates Gary Farmer and Jim Waldman.

Farmer and various political committee’s supporting him sent around 35 pieces in the last months of the campaign, while Waldman and his committees sent approximately 25.

The majority of ads from both campaigns were attacks on their opponent, say voters who received them.

“A lot of my neighbors say they are sick of seeing all this garbage in their mail,” one longtime voter of District 34 told Browardbeat.com.

Faith Based Events

Farmer was accused of lying during the campaign. He was also criticized for his previous role as a lobbyist and for not paying taxes.

Waldman was attacked for allegedly not being Democratic enough and for lying about Farmer.

This blizzard of mailed ads was aimed at a relatively small group of Democrats who are most likely to vote in tomorrow’s primary – less than 30,000.

The figure for the number of ads — roughly 60 — comes from political insiders in the district who kept the ads and counted them.
