Final campaign finance report
Watson's a fundraising freak.
I'm just going to do a short update today and then I'm going to go to some polling sites to do some unscientific exit polls on city politics.
Final campaign finance report: Watson, the fundraising freak
For better or worse, Kirk Watson knows how to raise money. It's also apparently not hard for friends of his to raise money on his behalf.
In his pre-election campaign finance report, the mayor reports raising another $102,000 between just between Sept. 27 and Oct. 26. That brings his total for the year to $927,000.
That may not seem like much for a mayoral race in a major U.S. city, but you gotta remember that sum was achieved despite a $450 limit per donor. That total is equal to more than 2,000 people contributing the maximum.
