Where Candidates Get Their Funding
Where candidates get their money from says a lot about their priorities. Some candidates run totally self-funded campaigns. Others choose to take donations only from individuals who have no intention of making applications to the County during their term. Others take donations from developers and other individuals who have clear vested interests in upcoming Council and/or Administration decisions.
When candidates come to your door, ask them which of these approaches they take to their fundraising. Also, be sure to ask them if they will be posting information about their campaign donations before the election.
For those candidates running in the 2025 election who also ran in the 2021 election, the information below summarizes how much they spent and where the funds came from. There are also links to their 2021 campaign disclosure forms. These forms highlight who contributed, how much they contributed, and how money was spent in each campaign. Sadly, candidates are only have to disclose this information after the election is long over. This is why it is important for you to ask candidates where they are getting their money from before you make your choice.
