Running a mayoral campaign in a city of 85,000+ is expensive. My campaign team is still finalizing the numbers, but I can disclose with confidence that the total campaign cost will easily be in the $35,000 range. The total cost would be significantly higher if I were to attach a value to the countless volunteer hours put in by dozens of team members and supporters. I want to take this opportunity to thank them once again. Here is an overview of the main campaign expense items.
