In an expensive, color inked fundraising appeal on letterhead dated December 2, 2009 in about 10 point Times New Roman font Tracey Mann wrote:
"Friends, what we are doing to ourselves is bad enough."
Ok that's weird.
But anyway, he also wrote:
"I need to raise $100,000 in the next 30 days. That's $3,300 a day! I could really use the help right now.... The final report of the year concluding December 31 is a giant signal of the strength of our campaign."
Well, Tracey Mann did a complete belly flop. A quick look at Tracey Mann's FEC report shows that Tracey Mann only raised $71,000 for the ENTIRE quarter! So he told his supporters he needed to raise $100,000 in 30 days... but only ended up raising $71,000 over 3 months! Well That's embarassing!
Wow Tracey Mann really sucks at being a businessman! Or he is getting bad advice. Anyone in politics knows you should downplay expectations, especially fundraising expectations. You don't set goals unless you are going to meet them. I guess not reaching goals and not meeting expectations is just the story of Tracey's life.
Tracey Mann was an intern/crappy coffee maker for Jerry Moran, never got any higher. FAIL.
He convinced Zimmer Real Estate he could open up a Salina division and bring in the dough. He has yet to list a single property in Salina. FAIL.
He probably told his parents when he got married that one day they would be grandparents. FAIL.
TRACEY MANN = FAILURE.
