Don’t Go to Kathy Boockvar’s Fundraiser

By Keegan Gibson, Managing Editor

Kathy Boockvar, the Democratic candidate for Commonwealth Court, has an… interesting strategy to bring in the bucks in the final month of the campaign.

In an email announcing her endorsement by the PA Chapter of the Sierra Club, an environmental group focused this year on natural gas drilling in the Marcellus shale, Boockvar’s campaign describes its effort to raise money and go green.

“Don’t Come to our October 23 Fundraiser,” reads the attention-catching email headline.

“Instead we invite you to join us for our first carbon neutral virtual fundraising event on Sunday, October 23rd, hosted by esteemed members of the Environmental Community… By not having the event at a physical location we lessen our impact on the environment by taking cars off the road.”

Boockvar has frequently mentioned the fact that the Commonwealth Court often hears disputes between landowners and drilling companies, and environmental advocates would do well to have a sympathetic ear on the bench.

A Bucks County attorney, Boockvar is running against Republican Anne Covey, also a Bucks County attorney, in the low-key race.

And you fundraising folks thought collecting checks was tough before…

Here’s the full email:
