The $100,000 club

Six candidates for City Council have raised more than $100,000 for their campaigns, according to campaign finance reports submitted with the Cincinnati Elections Commission today:


Candidate Total

Jeff Berding (D) $200,465

John Cranley (D)
$199,861

Chris Bortz (C) $168,552

David Crowley (D)
$130,689

Leslie Ghiz (R) $113,864

Chris Monzel (R)
$113,119

For comparison, here's how that list would have looked about this time in 2003:


Candidate Total

David Pepper (D) $176,098

Pat DeWine (R) $147,695

John Cranley (D) $139,957

Leslie Ghiz (R) (see below)
$129,355

Chris Monzel (R) $127,312

Barbara Trauth (R) $113,645

David Crowley (D) $109,550

Earlier this year, candidates were complaining about "donor fatigue." After the hard-fought 2004 campaigns -- and with strong candidates for mayor hitting up local contributors -- City Council candidates thought they'd have a tough time raising money.

For some Democrats, at least, donor fatigue has not yet set in.

UPDATE (Saturday, 5:31 p.m.): The numbers above are based on reports to the Cincinnati Elections Commission. Leslie Ghiz mistakenly overreported the numbers on her 60-day report in 2003. According to her amended reports, the correct number for this time in 2003 should be $72,888. "I just wanted my numbers to show I am way ahead of where I was two years ago, and more than my total finish in 2003," she said.
