Endorsements are the next hurdle for this race

Ed Brockman 
So far Ed has reported only about $300 of his own money going into the campaign.  What will new reports show?
No new filings since last post.

Joe Buck
By far the best funded and biggest spender so far in the campaign.  From the looks of things, Joe has the backing of many of the old guard as evidenced by his campaign partners, marketing company and contributors, some of which have been connected with other organizations tied to downtown development, the streetcar, and the Chamber of Commerce.
