Incumbent Peg Ferraro raised the most money of any candidates, Democrat or Republican, with $8,662.47. Like Executive candidate John Brown, she's using Communication Concepts as her political consultant.
Of course, she drew financial support from many of the usual big money Republicans. But a sign of her bipartisan appeal is a $100 contribution from Northampton County Council member Ken Kraft, a Democrat. That small donation speaks volumes about Peg's appeal across the aisle.
Hayden Phillips, who has a great deal of support among tea party Republicans, raised $4,577.50. This includes a $500 contribution from conservative State Rep. Mario Scavello, who wants to eliminate the Prevailing Wage Act.
Seth Vaughn reports raising $2,605, which includes $500 from industry captain Elmer Gates.
Reports filed by Glenn Geissinger and Mat Benol were unavailable when I left the elections office at 2 pm. I will tell you about them tomorrow.

" a $100 contribution from Northampton County Council member Ken Kraft, a Democrat. That small donation speaks volumes about Peg's appeal across the aisle."
It speaks more about Kraft's desire to be President of county council.
That's a possibility, but I think a $100 donation is more symbolic than anything else.
Based on the numbers Bernie. I think many of the candidates would love some of that
so-called "symbolism.
"speaks volumes" - you are so full of crap - I wonder if you're drinking again. K is a political union slut who will do anything to buy more support because he can't get it on his own merits
A political union slut? That's the funniest thing I have ever heard. Kraft gave money to an incumbent (who will win again) and also money to every candidate on the democratic ticket. Guess he is a real sleezbag for that?
That remark, which also states i am drinking again, comes from one of two people - Tricia Mezzacappa or her blog mentor. I would not attach any weight to that anonymous hate.
