Got this in my emailbox from Nicholas Reindl, the Field Director for Assembly candidate Glen Brower:

Hey Zach,

Just wanted to give you an update on how things are going, this afternoon we knocked on our 3,000 door since the first of June, the response so far has been very receptive, it is very surprising that alot of voters don’t really seem to know who Mark Honadel is.

What strikes me is the statement that a lot of voters don’t really seem to know who Mark Honadel is. I’m not sure how true that statement is, given that it comes from the Brower campaign, but it does seem somewhat credible, given the fact that Rep. Honadel really hasn’t had to campaign too hard in the last two elections, having run unopposed.

If it’s indeed true that not a lot of voters know who Rep. Honadel is, that most certainly can’t bode well for his chances in November, especially when combined with the fact that he was outraised in June by Glen Brower.

What’s more, an incumbent should be well known in the district he represents, so the fact that Rep. Honadel seems to suffer from a lack of name recognition speaks volumes about one of two things: the poor job he’s done as the Representative for the 21st District, or the prevalent voter apathy in his district. Me, I’m betting it’s a product of the poor job he’s done representing his district.
