There was another $3,280 donated in amounts under $150.

He started the quarter with $4,137.44.

How did he spent his campaign funds during the three month period?

$200 was given to Pam Althoff’s campaign fund and another hundred to others politicians.

There was another political transfer, but it is entered incorrectly as an “expenditure:”

$250 – Citizens for Facts First (the committee opposing consolidating the McHenry Township Road District into the now separate Township government)

Ordinary spending follows:

• $3,232.50 for a fundraiser at the M Supper Club
• $1,360.81 for printing at Crystal Lake’s Minuteman Press
• $2,041 for signs from Awesome Campaigns in Elgin
• $407.34 to Sam’s Club for candy
• $175 for brochure design by Artforms by D2 of Attica, IN

His campaign fund owes the candidate $1,063.08 and Jacob Lee of Waltham, MA, $1,000.  The debts go back to the 2012 election.

He has just over $7,500 left to spend between now and the election.
