Smedley Is Top Fundraiser In Pre-Primary Reporting Period For County Mayor; Wamp Campaign Questions Some Of Hullander Gifts

  • Wednesday, April 27, 2022

Hamilton County Commission Chairman Sabrena Smedley brought in the most funds in the pre-primary reporting period for county mayor.

 

Ms Smedley listed $49,235 on the report covering April 1-24.

 

Her campaign said she "almost outraised her primary opponents combined in the race for county mayor."

 

Ms.

Smedley said, “We’ve got big momentum going into the final stretch because of my proven conservative record of halting forced annexation, stopping a huge tax increase, and giving parents a voice in our schools.


"My last name may not open any doors, but I’m ready for the job, with a long-term financial plan to prepare Hamilton County for responsible growth. By forecasting future capital needs, we can fund ongoing maintenance with cash and minimize new debt, which will save taxpayers millions.”

 

Matt Hullander took in $28,990 in the recent period, while Weston Wamp had $22,430.

 

Democratic candidate Matt Adams said he received $4,955 in the latest reporting period.

 

Also the Weston Wamp campaign stated, "The Wamp campaign found 27 entries on Matt Hullander's three financial disclosures where the amount listed exceeds the primary limit of $1,600.

 

"As an example, Thunder Thornton and his wife each gave $3,200 for a total of $6,400. In this case, $3,200 of the donations has to remain unspent until the primary is over next week."

 

Election officials said, "If someone gives $3,200 ($1,600 for primary and $1,600 for general), only $1,600 may be accessed until the primary is over. However, if the other $1,600 was used, as long as it is proven to be used for the general, it can be accessed."
