With District Boundaries Set, Candidates Turn To Fundraising
http://www.leesburg2day.com/news/article_47af69cc-6d1f-11e0-8a6f-001cc4c03286.html
The first 2011 financial disclosure reports have been filed in the Board of Supervisors campaign and there is a new face leading the race to collect funds.
Typically, the candidates for the chairman's seat would lead the pack in campaign contributions, in large part because they run countywide campaigns. This year there are three candidates. As expected, incumbent Scott K. York, the Independent who is seeking the Republican nomination this summer has the largest war chest, with $47,508 on hand according to the filings; he has raised $25,000 so far this year. His GOP challenger Steve W. Stockman, who entered the race two weeks ago, was not required to file a report. Democrat Thomas Bellanca collected $17,952 since Jan. 1 and reported $16,862 cash on hand.
Another candidate typically found to be leading in the fundraising category is Supervisor Eugene Delgaudio (R-Sterling). He has collected $10,153 so far this year and has $37,056 in the bank to support his re-election bid. Democratic challengers Alfonso Nevarez and Daniel M. Lloyd face a significant hurdle reporting cash on hand of $7,135 and $513, respectively.
The 2011 fundraising leader to date is a political newcomer in his first bid for public office in Loudoun. Ralph M. Buona has collected $34,505 so far this year in his Republican campaign to be the supervisor for the new Ashburn District. He reports cash on hand as of March 31 totaling $26,659.
In the 2007 board elections, district candidates spent an average of $75,000 in their campaigns.
Raising the most, and spending the most, didn't necessarily translate to success at the polls, however. In four of the eight races, candidates who outspent their opponents lost on Election Day. That trend was most evident in the chairman's race where Republican Michael J. Firetti outspent York $400,356 to $189,602, but garnered only 44 percent of the vote.
In total, nearly $1.8 million was spent on board campaigns in 2007.
