Kyle Keyser’s social media skills pay off in mayoral fundraising
Here’s how his two-day fundraising blitz panned out
Last Wednesday, anti-crime advocate Kyle Keyser made the Atlanta mayoral race — which has seen its fair share of drama the last few weeks — much more interesting when he announced his candidacy.
One problem: Keyser didn’t have the $4,425 to get his name on the ballot. Another problem: the Little Five Points resident had only 48 hours to raise the cash. Either that or gather 2,300 signatures in the same amount of time.
So Keyser, the founder of the 10,000-member strong Atlantans Together Against Crime and well-known among the city’s more social crowd, asked for help via Twitter, Facebook and DailyKos. It paid off. Here are the numbers.
