#wcpss #nced #ncpol #wakepol #ralpol Long Twitter thread incoming about Wake County school board campaign finance reports. SBOE still hasn't posted the 3rd quarter reports yet for Doug Hammack & Chris Heagarty. The biggest donors by far are Dean Debnam, the owner of Public Policy
Polling, & his wife, Sesha. They each gave max $5,600 donation to the 7 Democratic backed candidates whose 3rd quarter reports are on file, for a total of $78,400. If they also gave max to Hammack & Heagarty, then it would reach $100K. The Debnams provided most of the money for
Monika Johnson-Hostler & Tara Waters. There's no one person or couple who has given nearly as much to the GOP backed candidates. For instance, reports show Bob Luddy gave money to only some of the GOP candidates. Here's how much each candidate has raised as of the 3rd quarter. If
they're not listed, it means they're raising less than $1K & don't have to give reports. District 1: Cheryl Caulfield ($8,094), Ben Clapsaddle ($20,195). District 2: Monika Johnson-Hostler ($15,290), Monic Ruiz ($4,656). District 3: Doug Hammack (report not posted yet by SBOE),
Wing Ng ($52,959). District 4: Becky Lew-Hobbs ($7,511), Tara Waters ($14,963). District 5: Jackie Boegel ($8,310), Lynn Edmonds ($36,561). District 6: Sam Hershey ($28,906), Patrice Nealon ($32,755), Chad Stall ($7,777). District 7: Jacob Arthur ($53,865), Chris Heagarty
($16,282 in mid-year report. 3rd quarter not posted yet), Katie Long ($19,445). District 8: Steve Bergstrom ($39,288), Lindsay Mahaffey ($36,091). District 9: Michele Morrow ($29,115), Tyler Swanson ($68,294). View reports at cf.ncsbe.gov/CFOrgLkup/
We'll know for sure after we get the final post-campaign numbers, but individually it's still less than what some candidates raised during the contentious 2011 election.
