Social media emerges in Merced sheriffs race
Social media networks are playing a role for the first time ever in a Merced County sheriffs campaign.
All four hopefuls in the Merced County sheriffs race Pat Lunney, Jim Soria, Frank Swiggart and Vern Warnke are using a combination of Facebook, Twitter and websites to rally supporters and build a voter base in Merced County.
Stephen Routh, a professor of political science at California State University, Stanislaus, said social networking websites changed the game for campaigns at every political level, beginning in 2004 with the founding of Facebook and again in 2006 with Twitter.
Its an important new arrow in the quiver of any political candidate, Routh said. Candidates can get their messages out quickly, and its much cheaper than buying campaign ads on television and radio.
This year marks the first time these tools have been available in a contested race to be the next sheriff in Merced County.
Merced Countys last contested race for the sheriffs office was in 2002 when Mark Pazin defeated three other candidates. Pazin ran unopposed in 2006 and 2010, leaving office late last year for a job in the California governors office. Tom Cavallero was appointed to finish the final year of Pazins term and chose not to seek election.
Exactly how much of an advantage social media may be in the sheriffs race remains to be seen, but any edge a candidate gets could be critical, especially in whats expected to be a low-turnout race like the upcoming June 3 primary.
According to the Merced County Elections Office, only about 27 percent to 30 percent of registered voters are expected to cast ballots in June. That leaves four candidates competing for somewhere between 25,000 and just over 28,000 total votes.
Candidates who use social media early on in a campaign may have an advantage over those who adopt those tools later in the race, political strategists said, especially if the race turns into a November runoff between the top two vote-earners in June.
For small county-level campaigns, Facebook is the most effective use of time and resources, said Ryan Waite, executive vice president of Campaign Solutions, a political consultant group.
