Top 10 Local Fundraising x2

What is considered a big pile of campaign cash is situational. That's why we created two Top 10 lists -- one for larger Virginia localities and those with fewer than 70,000 residents.

Money raised in September

Population more than 70,000

Population less than 70,000

Note: The second list includes only those candidates who filed their October 15 campaign reports electronically with the state Department of Elections. Currently, candidates for local office in cities and counties with fewer than 70,000 people have the option of disclosing their donations on paper documents. (That will change in January, when all candidates will be required to e-file.)
