Is the amount a candidate has raised correlate to the chances of winning an election? Perhaps not. Asked differently, would you endorse a candidate who has few dollars in the final weeks of a campaign? Available is a recent analysis I’ve completed of contributions received by candidates and the current cash on hand, as of April 1, 2019. This information is publicly available at Philadelphia’s Office of the City Commissioners website in the Campaign Finance Reports page.
A zero in the right most column (# Pages) indicates the candidate did not file a campaign finance report, according to the Office of City Commissioners. The report deadline was April 9, 2019 and complete as of April 1, 2019.
City Commissioner candidates who reportedly have not filed are: Warren Bloom and Annette Thompson.
There are also a number of Council-at-Large candidates who reportedly did not file, as required. They include: Wayne Allen, Latrice Bryant, Devon Cade, Wayne Dorsey and Edwin Santana. Janice Tangradi dropped out of the race near the filing deadline.
