In the race to decide who will be the next alderman from the 6th Ward, according to the latest campaign finance reports, Kacie Starr Triplett has raised more that three times as her opponents, Patrick Cacchione and Christian Saller. Labels: Alderman_Races
Triplett reported raising nearly $14,000 since October with $9,395.93 left in the bank. Her contributors included several local labor unions, Congressman Lacy Clay, former Congressman Bill Clay, former Clay aide Pearlie Evans, State Sen. Jeff Smith, and Richard Callow.
Cacchione raised just $1,980, but loaned his campaign $5,000 of his own money. Saller raised $1,555 during the same period.
UPDATE: A note from the Saller campaign says to look for finance reports later today that shows him (and probably Cacchione as well) adding "pretty dramatically" to his cash on-hand total. Will do.
UPDATE 2: Add to Saller's total an additional $5,715 raised between Jan. 1 and Jan. 20. Total raised $7,267. Total on hand: $5,697.09. Awaiting Cacchione's...
*Triplett is a client of A.D. French & Associates and her reports reflect $1,000 being paid during the period.

From the report it also looks like she received moey from former Congressman Louis Stokes.

Well, that is not exactly an Apples to Apples comparison. Kacie's report includes the first 20 days of January whereas the other two are only through December. We need to see how many the other two raised for the same time periods.

If both Cacchione and Saller received big contributions in January they would have reported it. Cacchione knew his fundraising looked weak and that is why he loaned himself 5k.
Candidates are going to do everything they can to put up a strong financial quarter. These numbers are pretty impressive by the lone lady in the 6th.

Both Cacchione & Saller have reports due today to cover the period between the 1st & 20th of January. I'm guessing both will likely pale in comparison to Triplett but we need to compare the totals from similar periods.
Tripletts report failed to list the dates the money was received so I am unable to determine how much she received through 2006 vs. through January 20th.
