PAC Contributions to City of Lansing
Candidates
Updated January 14, 2010 |
Home |
With a total of $54,075, incumbent mayor Virg
Bernero leads all other candidates for city offices in contributions
from PACs so far this year. City council member and unsuccessful mayoral candidate Carol Wood is second with
$15,100.
Contribution amounts were taken from
expenditure reports submitted by PACs to the Secretary of State for the
period 1/1/2009-10/20/2009 and from the candidates' own reports for
1/1/2009-11/23/2009.
I find interesting the late
contributions - contributions received after or so close to the November
3 election that they would be no use to the campaign.
Here is the breakdown of PAC contributions

This second contribution of $500 on
9/4/09 is probably a reporting error. Bernero reported two $500
payments,
but the Restaurant Association reported only one. |
|
** |
This contribution of $4750 on
7/16/09 was reported twice by IBEW-COPE, but was also reported by IBEW-COPE
as paid back by the Bernero campaign the same day. |
| *** |
The Sinas-Dramis PAC is
registered with the Secretary of State, but has reported no
expenditures. |
As of 11/23/09, Bernero has a balance
of $16,429.72 in his campaign account.
