In the home stretch to the Nov. 4 election, local candidates for City Council are collecting and spending money from a number of different sources.

All three of the opposed incumbents have accepted money from developers and contractors, including the Tidewater Builders Association’s political action committee.

Vice Mayor Charles Brown, running for re-election in the Cypress Borough, and Councilman Charles Parr, running for re-election in the Suffolk Borough, both accepted almost the entirety of their campaign’s itemized income — donations more than $100 — this period from developers, contractors or builders.

Each of them faces two challengers.

Jeffrey Gardy, running against one challenger in the Holy Neck Borough, had two of his three donations this period, representing 75 percent of the dollar amount, from the Hampton Roads Realtors PAC and the Tidewater Builders Association PAC.

Donald Goldberg, challenging in the Suffolk Borough, also took a handful of contributions from people involved in development or real estate — about $1,450, nearly 16 percent of his $9,250 itemized total this reporting period.

The incumbents also are starting to catch up to their challengers in the amount of contributions and cash on hand. Earlier in the campaign, the challengers had got out to a more robust start.

In the Cypress Borough, Charles Brown raised more than $6,000 this period, while Leroy Bennett brought in about $3,600 and Clinton Jenkins brought in about $2,700.

In Holy Neck, Jeffrey Gardy took in about $4,500, while Tim Johnson took in about $3,900.

In the Suffolk Borough, the only challenger that outpaced an incumbent this period was Goldberg, who took in more than $14,000 compared with Parr’s $11,300 and Kerry Holmes’ $2,300.

Signs and materials for them were the primary expenditure for many of the candidates.

The reports were due Oct. 15 and cover the reporting period of the month of September.
