Fundraising and spending is gearing up in the races for local office.

The 13 candidates for mayor, City Council and School Board filed financial disclosures in September, covering the full months of July and August. The reports make public the names of donors and where they’ve spent the money.

The mayoral candidates are competing to out-raise and out-spend each other.

Incumbent Linda T. Johnson is leading her challengers in contributions, having raised more than $18,000 this period.

However, challenger Leroy Bennett led in expenditures this period, having spent about $16,000 — nearly twice Johnson’s expenditures this period.

Signs and other marketing materials, event costs and newspaper advertising were common expenditures for candidates.

Bennett’s largest expenditures were for signs and bags, while Johnson’s were for signs. The third mayoral competitor, Art Bredemeyer, paid for consulting services as his largest expenditure.

Another race with three competitors, for the Sleepy Hole borough seat, is generating activity.

Raymond Batton is beating his competition in money-raising, having garnered $13,764 in itemized contributions this period. However, more than $6,000 of it was from himself and his businesses.

Unique among all the candidates, Batton spent money — about $300 — on Facebook advertising.

Roger Fawcett raised nearly $3,700 in itemized contributions this period — $1,000 of it from himself — and received more than that in in-kind donations, mostly from family members.

Kevin Alston received no itemized contributions this period, and spent only $610 on a voter list and yard signs.

In the Nansemond borough, incumbent Robert Barclay has out-raised challenger Lue Ward by more than 27 to 1 in itemized donations.

Incumbent Curtis Milteer, who is unchallenged in the Whaleyville borough, has received no itemized contributions and spent about $250 for campaign literature.
