The TL has a rundown of the money raised by the Row Officer candidates so far for the May Primary Election. The Luzerne County election website doesn't have the full reports available online yet but I'm sure Leonard will make sure that they are posted soon.
Relatively speaking the candidates have raised modest amounts of money with large chunks coming from the hopefuls themselves.
One of the fat wallets that is a little lighter that I spotted in the article is Dan Meuser, of West Pittston, Harveys Lake and other places. Meuser is the former president of Pride Mobility and lost the 2008 10th CD GOP Primary to Chris Hackett. He dropped a thousand bucks on Walter Mitchell and Nanda Palissery each.
In the Controller's race Luzerne County Republican Party endorsed candidate Nanda Palissery has the most bucks.
Total: $7,460
From the candidate: $4,255
Spent: $4,109
Cash on hand: $3,350

There is only one Democratic candidate in the race for Controller which disappoints me. I hate unopposed elections.
Bob Morgan
Total: $6,840
Candidate: $263
Spent: $4,772
Cash: $2,067
Big donors: Arlene Pasonick $1,000, Robert Stella $900
The thing to remember is that money can flow into this race at the last minute and we will not know about it for months.
It's obvious Nanda has the most support because he's the best candidate. Go Nanda!
