Fundraising by candidates in this year’s city elections in Waynesboro seems to be trailing just a little from where it was in 2008 and is off a good bit from the 2006 city elections.

Ward D incumbent Lorie Smith was the top fundraiser as of her most recent report of campaign activity that was filed on Monday, having raised $7,930.89 for her run. Smith’s Ward D opponent, Mike Harris, had raised $6,146.79 as of Friday, April 23, according to his Monday report.

Ward C City Council candidate Jeff Freeman reported $4,519 in fundraising on his Monday report. Candidate Robert Johnson had raised $1,385 for his campaign, according to his report.

In the Ward D School Board race, incumbent Kathe Maneval reported $3,559.99 in contributions through April 23, and challenger Jennifer Jones reported $2,074.22 as of that date.
