  As of February 13, Dallas political consultant Kathy Nealy was the lone paid staffer running Clinton's Dallas campaign.Asked why the Clinton camp hadn't scheduled as many events as the Obama camp, she responds, "They are in the hype stage, but this is Politics 101, and I am in the planning stage.First thing you do is to get out the early vote."Early voting began February 19.
  
  By February 18, Nealy was joined by four additional Clinton staffers from the national campaign, says Barbara Rosenberg, a volunteer Clinton organizer for Dallas, and more are expected.

  The Poss camp suggests a certain hypocrisy in the fact that Rob Allyn, Miller's political consultant, is working on the city bond campaign with Kathy Nealy, the Southern Dallas political consultant whom Miller has castigated in the past over alleged absentee-vote abuses.
  ...
  Miller and her husband have been leading the fight for statewide reform of the absentee-voting laws in Texas, putting them directly at odds with Nealy and Nealy associates like state Representative Terri Hodge, who has earned big fees in the past for helping candidates harvest the absentee vote.
  ...
  But three points: One, the bond campaign, which admits it is using Nealy, is separate from the Miller campaign.Miller isn't even supporting the full bond campaign.Second, the Allyn company told me through a spokesperson that it has no dealings with Nealy and insisted on a complete contractual firewall between itself and Nealy in the bond effort.Third, Nealy says she's a respected national and international political consultant, and anyway she isn't fielding an absentee-vote effort.
  
  Nealy emerged as a serious factor in local politics in 1997 when she helped Ross Perot Jr. and Tom Hicks get minority votes for tax subsidies for their new sports arena, American Airlines Center--a neat end-run around the North Dallas middle class that opposed the subsidies.Her presence in the bond campaign is evidence the backers may be playing a similar strategy.But she told me she will not carry out any organized effort to harvest mail-in votes for the bond campaign.

  Childs has hired veteran lobbyist William Cothrum and Southern Dallas political consultant Kathy Nealy to represent him on it at City Hall.
  ...
  At the end of last week, the mayor accused Nealy and Childs of making a race-card appeal to black city council member Leo Chaney when they met to lobby him for the deal.
  ...
  Both Cothrum and Nealy vigorously denied to me that they are playing a race card in presenting their case to minority council members.
  ...
  Chaney, who is black, was very upset with the mayor's characterization of his meeting with Nealy and Childs.

  Dunning Pays 12% of Expenses to Kathy Nealy

  January 2, 2001 (Dallas) - Dallas Mayoral Candidate Tom Dunning has hired political consultant Kathy Nealy in a bid to gain an edge in the Dallas Mayor's race.
  
  According to campaign financial disclosures, Ms. Nealy has been paid almost 13%, or $72,500 of the almost $566,000 that Mr. Dunning has, so far, spent on his campaign.This makes Ms. Nealy the second highest expense the campaign has had [view Mr. Dunning's expense summary here].
  
  Ms. Nealy's role in the campaign has not been publicly disclosed, nor would she return phone calls seeking clarification.
  
  ...
  Ms. Nealy, 49, is a wealthy South Dallas political consultant who has historically had a talent for bringing out the South Dallas vote on an impressive array of issues--including some issues which may have had dubious benefits for the voters she has attracted.
  
  Ms. Nealy has been at the center of some of Dallas' highest-profile campaigns including the American Airlines Arena, Mayor Ron Kirk's campaigns and the Trinity River project.In doing so, she has increased her personal wealth to the point where she now owns an exclusive private box in the new American Airlines Arena--only a few feet away from the owner's box.
  
  Though Ms. Nealy would not say what services she performs, she has referred to past fees from candidates as "walking around money."In the Observer article, Ms. Nealy, who is black, says "election day expense is a little different in our community."
  
  The same South Dallas community that Ms. Nealy has been hired to rally has been the focus of recent controversy over tactics allegedly used by some operatives to produce votes.In November, a judge invalidated a city council election because of fraud.
  
  Maxine Thorton-Reese, the council member in question, was accused by rival candidate Larry Duncan of producing questionable mail-in votes to edge her to a slim 16-vote margin of victory.
  
  The judge agreed and ordered a new election.

  Kathy Nealy's big payback?
  ...
  Dallas political consultant Kathy Nealy had made beating Ms. Shaw a primary goal in May.
  ...
  Ms. Shaw and the African-American members of the successful bond campaign snubbed Ms. Nealy by securing lucrative consulting work for radio talk show host Willis Johnson.
  ...
  In the past, Ms. Nealy had always got the southern sector consulting contract, particularly when Carol Reed was involved.
  ...
  So though Ms. Nealy was supporting Ms. Hill before the bond campaign controversy, the fallout gave her more motivation to beat Ms. Shaw.

  Kathy Nealy , a political consultant who advises Mr. Kirk and various southern-sector candidates , was more blunt.
  ...
  Even though predominantly white , affluent areas still supply most of the political dollars , the pool of donors is growing more diverse , Ms. Nealy said.
  
  We now have more blacks and Hispanics giving , she said.It used to be it was just the business community supporting candidates..
  
  At the same time , Ms. Nealy said , as campaigning has become more expensive , southern residents have come to accept the necessity for candidates to raise money all over town.
  
  It's not as negatively received as it once was , she said.Everybody realizes you have to have some money to get involved in politics..
  
  Where $ 10 , 000 once could fuel a viable campaign , $ 25 , 000 is now the bare minimum , and $ 50 , 000 is what a serious candidate really needs , Ms. Nealy said.
