Item: Campaign gifts reported: Half of Gookin’s contributions from outside city /Erica Curless & Paula Davenport, Spokesman-Review

More Info: Gookin, a technical writer of “Dummies” computer books, said the wide range of contributions lends credibility to his claim of being able to work with people. He said the money is mostly from family and co-workers in the publishing business and doesn’t fit the stigma of “out-of-state” influence.
