Mayoral Money Race Order Unchanged After Priester, Johnson File Updates
By Donna LaddMelvin Priester Jr. filed a 48-hour report today showing that he has raised $6,150 more in mayoral contributions. That brings his total to $110,785 by our math to Lumumba's $138,801. Horhn is in third with $104,593
Harvey Johnson Jr. has raised $7,000 more in campaign dollars this week according to his 48-hour report, bringing his total to $67,355.
(For the record, both of these reports and some earlier ones are near-illegible, which is disconcerting coming from serious candidates for mayor. Priester, for one, spent a lot of his JFP interview talking about getting details right. Why not start during the campaign?!?)
To summarize, As of 5 p.m. today, this is where the money stands based on reports legally required to be filed:
- Chokwe Lumumba: $138,801
- Melvin Priester Jr.: $110,785
- John Horhn: $104,593
- Tony Yarber: $95,716
- Harvey Johnson Jr: $67,355
- Margaret Barrett-Simon: $54,680
- Regina Quinn: $38,968
