Updated Campaign Finance Reports
Scoop just got its hands on the latest report of fundraising from Greensboro City Council candidates.
In the lead for fundraising in the month of September is mayor pro-tem Yvonne Johnson with $12,945, though the overall lead still rests with at-large candidate Don Vaughan with $34,575 raised this election cycle.
The reports were due in Saturday, and the Board of Elections is still waiting for reports from Florence Gatten, Dianne Bellamy-Small and Janet Wallace.
As before, we've scanned in the reports for you to read and a brief summary of the report:
Yvonne Johnson: Click here to read the report. Johnson didn't start fundraising until this last month, so while she's raised a lot in September, she trails in fundraising behind Vaughan, Florence Gatten and Sandra Anderson. There's still a month to go before the election, though.
Don Vaughan: Click here to read the report. Much of Vaughan's $7,150 raised so far is from attorneys and their spouses. Spending has mostly been on yard signs, advertisements and web site hosting.
Sandra Anderson: Click here to read the report. On the spending side, there is a $4,960 expense to Fairway Outdoor Advertising for campaign billboards that have gone up on Battleground Avenue and High Point Road (those are the one's I've seen at least).
Goldie Wells: Click here to read the report. So far, Wells is the only District 2 candidate who has broken through the $3,000 mark that triggers campaign expense reporting.
Mike Barber: Click here to read the report. Thousand dollar contributions are rare in Greensboro. Typically even the big dog contributors only give $500 for a race. Mike Barber has one of those, getting a g from builder Joeseph McKinney. A quick search of our archive found that McKinney was fined by the city for cutting down trees during a construction project on Spring Garden Street, though the fines were later dropped. Barber has argued against the city's tree ordinance, saying they're not friendly to business.
Sandy Carmany: Click here to read the report. In 2003 when Carmany was unopposed, she neither raised nor spent any money. This time, she's doing some limited work and said she'll probably have to refresh her stock of yard signs.
