The amount of funding a candidate has available to finance their campaign can have a huge impact on their chances of getting elected — as well as what happens once they’re in office. So who’s providing those dollars in local races? We’ve been tracking campaign finance for months; here’s our latest story after the most recent campaign finance disclosures on Friday.
