Kevin Gillogly has compiled a summary chart of all mayoral campaign finance filings exclusively for Maryland Scramble.

Warnock Fundraising Report

As previously mentioned, David Warnock loaned his campaign $950,000. The report is now filed. Warnock raised $361,000, spent $384,000 and has $927,000 cash on hand.

Mayoral candidate David Warnock has loaned his campaign $950,000, but what shouldn’t be lost is that he also raised $360,000, a strong number in and of itself. District 14 incumbent Mary Pat… Read more »
