What it costs to run for District Court judge
Candidates for office were required to report their third-quarter financials to the State Board of Elections the other day.
You can look up the candidate of your choice here.
Here are the amounts reported through three quarters by candidates for District Court judge in Guilford County:
Sue Burch, $19,925
vs.
Tabatha Holliday, $29,373
Robert Enochs, $40,597
vs.
Angela Foster, $3,890
Avery Crump, $1,557
vs.
Robby Hassell, $27,305
Betty Brown -- no third-quarter report
vs.
Chuck White, $22,612
Polly Sizemore, $16,029
vs.
Barbara Washington -- less than $3,000
Notes:
Washington certified she did not plan to raise or spend more than $3,000 and therefore is not required to file quarterly reports.
Brown's second-quarter filing (which was late) reported she had raised $5,088. I've placed a call to her to ask about her missing third-quarter report.
You can look at each report to see who's giving donations of $100 or more and how the candidates are spending their campaign funds.
Be aware that the candidates could do a large share of their fundraising and spending during October, but those amounts won't be reported until later.
