Final HD-100 campaign finance reports filed

The four candidates in the special election to replace Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson’s HD-100 seat have filed their final campaign finance reports before election day Nov. 5.

Leading the fundraising pack for HD-100 in the period between Sep. 27 and Oct. 26, is Democratic political operative Lorraine Birabil, again.

Birabil raised $39,900, 43 percent of which came from outside of the state.

This included in-kind administrative and communication support from DC-based Lone Star Project and $7,000 from federal labor unions.

Annie’s List endorsement of Birabil included a $2,000 check and an in-kind contribution of staff travel with the campaign.

Birabil also received contributions from County Judge Clay Jenkins, District 3 County Commissioner John Wiley Price, Speaker Pro Tempore Joe Moody (D-El Paso) and Chairwoman Nicole Collier (D-Dallas) indicating local and state party support.

Birabil also spent the most with $42,500 in expenditures. She has $22,400 cash on hand, substantially more than any other HD-100 candidate in the race.
