Correction: Owner of "Russo Truck" Is Registered "Unaffiliated"

Giuseppina DeMartino contributed $500 to Hillary Clinton's
campaign in the early spring of 2008, and $514 to Donald
Trump's campaign in October of 2016. 
The blog post on the ownership of the illuminated sign advertising Bill Russo for mayor generated a few comments. "Anonymous" took me to task for making a mistake about the political affiliations of the truck's owner.

Although it was an anonymous comment, I have confirmed that the information is correct, and felt it was important to set the record straight.

Dominick DeMartino is registered in Durham as an "unaffiliated" voter. I used outdated information (HERE) to conclude that he is a registered Republican.

"Anonymous" also wants to note that Giuseppina donated money to the primary campaign of Hillary Clinton in 2008.

"Anonymous" does not dispute that DeMartino owns and is renovating two buildings on Main Street, that he has contributed $1000 to the Bill Russo for Mayor, or that the DeMartino truck is benefitting the Russo campaign.

    What’s the fuss about Mr. DeMartino’s party? It’s pretty clear that when you declare an affiliation, that’s where your your thinking or your passions are aligned. Unaffiliated is simply going wherever the wind (or opportunity) takes you.
