Robin Cravey Fundraising Report


by: Karl-Thomas Musselman

Tue Jan 15, 2008 at 02:51 PM CST


Now a second of the three candidates running to replace Betty Dunkerly has released their finance report. From the press release...

Robin Cravey, candidate for Austin City Council in Place 4, released his first campaign finance report today, showing that he raised almost $14,000 by December 31. In the two weeks since the reporting period ended, Cravey has raised an additional $4,400, for a total of $18,300 since the campaign began.  With more than 100 donors contributing to his campaign, and more than half those contributing $100 or less, Cravey has support from a diverse array of citizens who want a renewed vision for Austin.

"I'm inspired that my message resonates with so many Austinites from all walks of life," Cravey said.  "The confidence placed in me by such a wide variety of folks, from friends and neighbors, business owners, environmentalists and ordinary working folks is overwhelming."

"Robin's years of leadership in the environmental community, from the 1970s up through his recent work to clean up Barton Springs Pool, made it easy for me to decide who to support in this race," said Mary Ann Neely, board member of the Save Barton Creek Association.  "I donated to his campaign because as a councilmember he would be a strong advocate for the environment."

race comparison (3.00 / 1)
totals (total, on-hand):

Laura Morrison    $40,015  $18,807
Robin Cravey      $18,300  (report not on city site)
Cid Galindo       $11,150  (report not on city site)
Samuel Osmene     $1,302   $1,302
Jennifer Gale     $2.35    (just kidding)

Interestingly, Laura has paid $1,375 in consulting to BOR's Matt Glazer.  She's definitely the front-runner at this point.


slight clarification (0.00 / 0)
Galindo and Cravey's numbers are to Jan. 15, Morrison's is to Dec. 31st.  

Galindo's report is now in.  $6750 in consulting fees to Kelly Vidovic.  $1000 each to Rachel Fletcher, Eric Heggie, and Sam McCabe.  $100 contribution to Valinda Bolton and Eliot Naishtat Campaigns (huh?).  On-hand was about $3300 as of Dec. 31.

Happy to Support Laura (0.00 / 0)
I met Laura last year and respect her experience and vision.  When she asked me to be involved in the campaign, there is no way I could say no.  Because of my contract with her, I will give equal time to both Robin and Laura (both great people) but with Cid's history, I promise to bring that to light when ever I find out more about it.

Good catch.  Always weird to see my name on these reports, even after years of campaign work. :)

while I'm at it... (5.00 / 1)
Place 1:
Lee Leffingwell $46,909 $45,605
Allen Demling   $650  $2,321

Looks like an uphill climb for anyone...

Place 3:
Randi Shade  $62,197  $69,270 (includes $10k loan)
Jennifer Kim $56,701  $43,935
Kenneth Weiss $860   $50

wow, that's gonna be expensive...

Oh, and I was close for Jennifer Gale.  She reported $12, same cash on hand.

BAT PAC reported $5,600. Presumably, they got an additional haul last Sunday.

Would you mind putting all this together in a Journal post? I'd be happy to promote the numbers and analysis!
