Pepper surpasses goal; Heimlich had no big push

David Pepper asked contributors last week for $25,000.

They gave him $40,000.

That’s the amount Pepper said he raised last week just before the latest deadline for candidates on this fall’s ballot to report their campaign finances. Those reports are due to the Board of Elections by Friday.

Pepper is the Democratic challenger to incumbent Republican Hamilton County Commissioner Phil Heimlich, who raised just under $400,000, the last campaign finance reports noted.

With last week’s $40,000, Pepper said his campaign now has about $200,000 in contributions.

Rob Seddon of Heimlich’s campaign said Heimlich had no big push last week. In fact, his big fund-raising event was Saturday, the day after the deadline. That means the money from that event won’t be on this report filed this Friday.

Seddon could only say today that Heimlich’s campaign has raised over $400,000.

I think you meant the PEOPLE will win again by rejecting Portune-protege Pepper.
