With the month of May’s numbers in, the record shows that Kim Janey raised more than all the other candidates in the city’s mayoral election for the second month in a row. Janey, who has seen her fundraising increase since becoming acting mayor in late March, brought in nearly $163,000 last month.
The only other candidate who raised close to that total was City Councillor Annissa Essaibi-George, who netted $151,000. Councillor Andrea Campbell was third with $117,000 and Councilor Michelle Wu followed with $107,000. Both Campbell and Wu also have more than $1 million in their campaign bank accounts, more than double the war chests for other candidates.
