Figures released of Campaign finance
Leading up to Tuesday’s city election, mayoral candidate Ed O’Neill is this election cycle’s biggest fundraiser and spender, according to campaign documents filed with the Iowa Ethics and Campaign Disclosure board.
O’Neill raised $12,150, and spent $9,197.15 on his campaign. His biggest contributers include Juanita and James Byrn, who each donated $2,000, Tamara Olsen, who donated $2,500 and Richard Johnson, who donated $2,500.
With $4,403 raised, LaMetta Wynn came in second in campaign funding. Most of the donations to the Wynn campaign were less than $200.
The Political Action Committee representing Archer Daniels Midland Company, (ADM), contributed $250 to Wynn’s campaign. Wynn also received $75 from State Rep. Mary Wolfe.
Mark Vulich raised the least of the mayoral candidates, with $2,945. Additionally, Vulich loaned his campaign $700.
Vulich was also the most conservative spender of the three, using only $825.75 on his campaign. However, an additional $486.85 is due to Clinton Printing for yard sign advertisements, which will raise his spending total.
Of those reporting, At Large Candidate John Rowland was the biggest earner of city council candidates with $2,485 in contributions. His competitors for the At-Large seat, Jacob Couppee and Ed Krempel, earned $1,511 and $825 respectively, though Krempel did supplement his campaign with a $2,000 personal loan.
Julie Allesee, who is running for the open Second Ward seat, raised $1,300. Information on competitors James L. Brockett and incumbent Mike Kearney was not available.
Campaign finance information was unavailable for Ward 4 candidate Paul Gassman, who is currently running unopposed.
