Update: City Councilor-At-Large Candidates' Warchests

The campaign finance reports for the first half of October have come in, so we can update the total amounts raised and spent by each campaign.

Note that these reports are only for the candidates for Boston City Councilor-At-Large, who are required to file electronically twice a month during the campaign. The Allston-Brighton District 9 City Council candidates will file their next reports on paper eight days before the election, i.e., next Monday, October 29th. Harry Mattison and I will try to get those out electronically soon after they are filed.

NOTE: responses to a questionnaire for the City Councilor-At-Large candidates will be posted here tomorrow (Wednesday, October 24th). Visit again soon!

Reporting Period: January 1, 2007 -- October 15, 2007

Councilor Michael Flaherty continues to out-raise and out-spend all of his competition. He made a very large wire transfer of $90,000 out of his account on 10/12/07; while the OCPF does not provide a description of this expenditure (he will probably have an auditor request that soon for such a large, un-itemized amount), it looks just like a major ad buy close to the election.
