Now that we’re in the post-primary election season, expect to see the campaigns for folks who weren’t on the primary ballot ramping up. Case(s) in point: In the last week, City Attorney Tom Carr has reported raising $2,525 (including $100 from Discovery Institute head Bruce Agnew and $200 from the fireworks lobby), bringing the total he’s raised to around $40,000. However, Carr has already spent most of that—on yard signs, fliers, and something called “The Carr Chronicles” (perhaps Carr’s version of this?)—leaving him with around $8,500 in the bank.
Carr’s opponent Pete Holmes, meanwhile, has raised around $37,000, but only $50 of that (from pedestrian-safety activist Kate Martin) came in the last week. Holmes, too, has spent most of his money already—he only has about $6,000 on hand.
