Candidates in this fall's municipal elections aren't required to file a campaign finance report until next month, and most of the heavy fundraising hasn't begun yet.

But that doesn't mean that everyone is starting from square one.

Incumbents (and folks who have run before) can carry forward unspent money from past elections. So here's a roundup of campaign bank accounts as of the last report, some of which are eight months old. (If the candidates have raised or spent money since then, it isn't reflected here, and we won't know for a few more weeks.)

Mayor:
Keith Holliday: $1,085.38 as of 12/31/04

At-large:
Yvonne Johnson: $6354.88 as of 7/31/04
Don Vaughan: $23,880.17 as of 12/31/04
Florence Gatten: $9,907.55 as of 1/10/05

District 1:
Dianne Bellamy-Small: $504.31

District 3:
Tom Phillips: $4471.61 as of 12/31/04

District 5:
Sandy Carmany: $3,621.59 as of 1/10/05
