Notes:
- There is another candidate in this race: Kristin S. Kasprzak (Libertarian). I have not found a campaign website for this candidate, so no listing above.
- Facebook – McDonough aded the most new Facebook followers since the last evaluation back in April.
- Twitter – McDonough also added the most new Twitter followers since the last evaluation.
- Ruppersberger holds a significant follower advantage on both Facebook and Twitter.
- Other outreach – I did not find any other forms of outreach from these candidates.
I am not reporting the engagement numbers in June. Let’s be honest…this is the slow part of the campaign season and I expect numbers to be lower overall for many candidates. I will start reporting engagement numbers in August and continue updating those numbers through the General Election. In August I will start picking an online outreach leader in each race.
Of course the reality of followers, likes, and subscribers does not mean a lot when it comes down to voting in the end, but it can show trends in a campaign cycle and makes a great resource for following all of the candidates.
