Here's how much money Topeka City Council candidates have raised before Nov. 7 election
Incumbent Topeka City Councilman Spencer Duncan is the leading money raiser among candidates for the four council seats up for a vote in next week's general election.
Duncan has received campaign contributions totaling $14,000, the most of any council candidate, and has also personally loaned his campaign $25,110, said campaign finance reports submitted recently to the office of Shawnee County Election Commissioner Andrew Howell.
Candidates for the seats that will be on the Nov. 7 general election ballot were required by 6 p.m. Monday to file reports sharing information that included facts about how much income those campaigns brought in and how much money they expended between July 21 and Thursday.
