Locals made a strong showing at Gov. Bob McDonnell’s inaugural events, with Henrico County ranking third in attendees behind McDonnell’s two stomping grounds—Fairfax County and Virginia Beach.
Henricoans ranked second behind Fairfax residents for Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli’s inaugural events, according to analysis by the Virginia Public Access Project, a nonpartisan tracker of money in politics.
VPAP figures this data by tracking the number of people who paid $250 or less for inaugural week event tickets. It’s harder to tell for Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling because he did not charge admission for his inaugural ball.
Statewide officeholders just recently released financial reports for their inaugural committees. We ran a story about the overall raising and spending in today’s T-D.
For McDonnell’s inaugural events, 103 Henrico residents plunked down money to fete the new governor, 70 Chesterfield County residents and 57 from Richmond city. Fairfax residents accounted for 169 attendees and Virginia Beach natives for 141.
VPAP’s analysis by occupation also shows that retirees accounted for the most small donors (under $250) followed by lawyers and state employees. Attorneys ranked highest among small donors to Cuccinelli followed by retirees and state employees.
