At-Large challenger David Grosso raised the most money from August to October and has the most left in the back leading into the November 6 race, while incumbent Councilmember Michael A. Brown (I-At Large) remains hobbled from an earlier theft from his campaign’s coffers.

According to campaign finance reports filed last night, Grosso raised over $41,000 and has more than $67,000 left for the next three weeks. Brown, on the other hand, took in just over $30,000 and has $16,000 left in the bank. GOP challenger Mary Brooks Beatty took in just over $4,200 and also has $16,000 left to work with, while A.J. Cooper raised over $9,700 but has only $300 left. Democratic incumbent Councilmember Vincent Orange (D-At Large) took in $8,350 and has just over $12,000 left. No reports were available for independent Leon Swain or Statehood Green Party candidate Ann Wilcox.

Brown’s campaign finance report shows just how much the theft—reported this summer—has hurt him: ever since announcing he would run for re-election he has raised $215,000, though $113,000 of that was allegedly stolen by a former campaign treasurer. D.C. police say they are investigating the theft, but have not yet filed any charges.

Needing money and understanding the importance of having a strong showing in the last campaign finance report before the election, Brown reached far and wide for contributions. He received $500 and $1,000 contributions from construction firms, developers, law firms, Safeway, PACs, and a number of unions. Last month Brown was endorsed by nine local unions.

This week Grosso nabbed the endorsement of the Current Newspapers, which wrote: “In our view, Grosso stands out in what is ultimately a disappointing field; both his background and his knowledge of the issues leave us confident of his ability to serve ably as a member of the D.C. Council.” The four-newspaper chain expressed concerns over Brown’s tax troubles and said that while Beatty was a good alternative, she didn’t provide enough specific when asked about how she would tackle unemployment.

Brown, Orange, Beatty, and Grosso will go head-to-head today on NewsTalk with Bruce DePuyt, which airs on NewsChannel 8 or can be streamed here. The debate starts at 10 a.m.
