Professor of Political Science Stephen Farnsworth<\/p><\/div>\n

Professor of Political Science and International Affairs and Director of the Center for Leadership and Media Studies Stephen Farnsworth was quoted in a WVTF article titled “Some Democratic candidates may not receive as much donor support as others this election cycle.”<\/p>\n

In the article, Farnsworth said “Donors have to figure out where their money can be best spent, and that means very viable candidates may not be as appealing to a donor as somebody else is. It’s a painful reality of politics that donors engage in triage, figuring out campaigns that are most effective users of donations versus those that may be good users but not at the top of the list.” Read the article from WVTF<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
