With Clark County’s primary election but a distant speck in the rearview mirror, it’s now time to focus on the Nov. 5 general election. So with that, it’s time to take an updated look at how much money candidates have raised, and from where.

Below, I’ve simplified some of the financial reports for the remaining candidates running for positions throughout Clark County. The figures are based on filings with the Washington state Public Disclosure Commission, and I’m only using candidates for whom financial statements are applicable.

Keep in mind, this isn’t necessarily a comprehensive list. It only includes the candidates left running who’ve reported their finances with the PDC. In many of the small town races, candidates haven’t reported a cent. The donations listed only represent a sampling of the people who donated.
