The deadline to file the campaign finance report with the City of Phoenix was June 30 (for the fund raising period of 1/1/11-5/31/11), so all of the numbers are in. Greg Stanton out-raised all of his competitors!
Greg raised more than $250,000, former Councilwoman Peggy Neely raised about $167,000, Councilman Claude Mattox raised about $150,000 and candidate Wes Gullett pulled in about $116,000.
Money is one of THE most important elements of a campaign. It helps to pay for qualified staff, supplies, commercials, signs, letters, door hangers, etc. Basically, the more money a campaign has, the louder and broader their message and (hopefully) more voters will turn out and vote for your candidate.
