Oklahoman
Mayor David Holt s re-election campaign has raised $275,000 so far this year in what is already one of the most expensive mayoral races the city has seen.
Holt s 2018 campaign upped the total by transferring $25,000 to the 2022 committee. I’ve run for office three times before this, Holt said by text. The first time I ran for mayor it took four and a half months to reach $200,000. This time we took in almost $300,000 in two weeks, he wrote. I’ve never experienced anything like this. The support has been overwhelming.
Here are some notable facts from the campaign s first-quarter report:
• Donors include Matt Payne ($250) and Rachel Cannon ($1,000), co-founders of Prairie Surf Media, which recently reached a deal with Oklahoma City to convert downtown s former Cox Convention Center into a television and motion-picture studio.
