Campaign finance reports are being submitted (they are all due in by midnight tonight) and I hope to report on many of the races and candidates here in Howard County. I thought I would start here (mostly because there are only two candidates and they have both submitted information). Here is a breakdown of what was submitted by Kim Oldham and Rich Gibson:

HC State’s Attorney	Starting Balance	Amount Raised	Amount Spent	Cash Balance
Kim Oldham	$0.00	$31,410.00	$12,064.74	$19,345.26
Rich Gibson	$3,002.23	$21,073.60	$1,437.79	$22,638.04

Comments:

Oldham raised the most cash…but also spent the most on the latest filing.

Gibson holds a slight advantage with cash on hand at the moment.

Neither candidate currently has a primary opponent.

Here is the data reported:

Gibson

Oldham
