McALLISTER HOLDS CASH ADVANTAGE IN DISTRICT 3 COMMISSIONER RACE
The four-way contest to replace Kathleen Kler as Jefferson County District 3 commissioner shows two candidates with strong fundraising advantages. Only the top two vote-getters will move on to the general election. The primary election is August 7. Only District 3 votes in this primary contest.
Ryan McAllister, who is running as a Democrat, thus far reports raising $7,892. His top five donors account for $5,000, with the largest donation of $2,000 coming from Laurel Burik of Marrowstone Island. Carla and Matthew Woodward of Port Hadlock each donated another $1,000. (As previously disclosed, Jim Scarantino of this website made several small donations to McAllister before launching this project).
McAllister reports spending less than half of his funds, and has over $4,500 cash on hand.
Greg Brotherton, also running as a Democrat, reports raising $6,151. His top five donors account for $2,250. Two of his top five donors are his parents who reside in District 3 in Quilcene. The other three reside in Port Townsend, outside the district. One of those is Michelle Sandoval, a Port Townsend city councilor.
Brotherton has spent almost all his donated funds, and has only $580 remaining. He has, however, loaned his campaign just over $3,035, which remains available to spend.
Jon Cooke is running as a Republican. He is chairman of the Jefferson County GOP. He reports raising $1,045. He is his own campaign’s largest donor.
The fourth candidate, Craig Durgan, is running as a Democrat. He reports a $795.18 in-kind contribution from himself, his only reported contribution.
All figures were derived from the latest available PDC filings. This story was corrected since first publication.
Jim Scarantino was the editor and founder of Port Townsend Free Press. He is happy in his new role as just a contributor writing on topics of concern to him. He spent the first 25 years of his professional life as a trial attorney, then launched an online investigative news website that broke several national stories. He is also the author of three crime novels. He resides in Jefferson County. See our "About" page for more information.
