PORT ANGELES — Campaign financial reports filed as of Friday with the state Public Disclosure Commission show contested Clallam County candidates spending $137,000 from more than $200,000 in contributions and loans in their quests to claim victory in Tuesday’s general elections.
Republican Clallam County Prosecuting Attorney Mark Nichols has raised $33,182, the most of any candidate, without loaning or contributing funds — not including in-kind contributions — by relying heavily on out-of-state contributions, with eight of his 10 largest contributors from the Washington, D.C.-Virginia area.
Nichols is running against former county Treasurer Selinda Barkhuis, who by comparison has raised $8,155 and has stated no party preference.
She has received $2,000 from the Clallam County Democratic Central Committee, the largest single North Olympic Peninsula contribution to any candidate, not including money the candidates have contributed to their own campaigns.
Republican Clallam County Commissioner Bill Peach, running against Democrat Mike Doherty, a former commissioner, is financing his campaign with a $20,000 loan, the bulk of his $22,675 campaign fund and by far the largest loan of any candidate.
The PDC is processing two complaints against him, one over his late reporting of the loan to the PDC and the other for not providing full details on other expenditures.
Below is a list of contributors of $100 or more in contested Clallam County races on the general election ballot that must be postmarked by Tuesday or is due in dropboxes or at the Clallam County Courthouse by 8 p.m. Tuesday.
The contributions and expenditures are at the PDC website at https://tinyurl.com/PDN-ClallamMoney.
