Hey, Big Spender: Public Safety First Campaign Raises More Than A Quarter-Million Dollars
Posted By Jim Nintzel on Thu, Oct 1, 2009 at 12:27 AM
Get ready for a big advertising blitz: The latest campaign finance report shows that the Public Safety First Campaign had raised $268,988 through Sept. 21. The Tucson Association of Realtors and assorted real-estate professionals around town remain the biggest donors, with TAR giving $135,276. Car dealer Jim Click kicked in $50K and the Southern Arizona Home Builders Association's total contribution has risen to $30K.
The campaign had spent $239,412, with most of the money moving through political consultants Zimmerman and Associates.
