Who spent the most during the fall municipal election?
PRINCE GEORGE – Elections BC is releasing financial disclosure statements for those who ran in the fall municipal election.
This past election there was a number one spender, councillor Kyle Sampson. Sampson received almost $21,000 worth of contributions to his campaign, and the spending appeared to have worked as the newcomer came in with the second highest amount of votes. In contrast, veteran and top vote getter Brian Skakun received just under $3,000.
There were a couple of uncuccessful council candidates who gathered a good amount of donations. Former councillor Cameron Stolz raised $11,900 while Dave Fuller fundraised just over $5,200.
Mayor Lyn Hall got $4,700 from his backers, a vast difference from 2014 when he received over $41,000.
