The Jan. 31 filing deadline to submit financial statements to the Office of Campaign Finance has passed, so let’s take a look at what kind of shape the District’s 2010 candidates are in, eight months out from the Sept. primaries.

By the way, if you’d like to download any of the candidates’ financial statements for yourself, you can do so here.

Adrian Fenty, mayor (D)
Mayor Fenty has raised a stunning $3.58 million, with over $800,000 of that coming in the most recent reporting period. And he’s only spent a little over $500,000 so far, so that leaves over $3 million still sitting there, waiting to be unleashed should a serious challenger emerge.

There’s plenty of notable names on Fenty’s donor list, including: the Motion Picture Association of America ($1,000), philanthropist Eli Broad ($2,000), Washington Ballet director Septime Webre ($100), Ben’s Chili Bowl ($500, plus another $500 from co-owner Nizam Ali), Lost creator and Star Trek director J.J. Abrams ($1,000), Office of Unified Communications Director Janice Quintana ($100), DCRA Director Linda Argo ($350), former Ward 8 Council member Sandy Allen, legendary music producer Clarence Avant ($2,000), D.C. attorney and former Council candidate A. Scott Bolden ($1,000), D.C. Shadow Senator Paul Strauss ($51), 18th Street’s Public Bar ($500), DDOT Director Gabe Klein ($100), former California Gov. Gray Davis ($500), landlord-to-many Borger Management ($2,000), Deputy Mayor Valerie Santos ($500), Dan Tangherlini ($100), and Hollywood film producer/Will Smith producing partner James Lassiter ($1,000).

Sulaimon Brown, mayor (D)
Brown’s only raised $13,765, and he’s already spent most of it. Most of his support comes from small business owners and taxicab interest groups.

Leo Alexander, mayor (D)
No form has been posted to the OCF’s web site, but we’re told the campaign has raised about $20,000.
