Patrick Mara, the Ward 1 representative on the State Board of Education, took in just over $55,000 in campaign contributions over the last month, leading all other contenders in the race for an At-Large seat on the D.C. Council that will be decided on April 23.

Mara, the sole Republican in the race, raised more than Matthew Frumin and Interim Councilmember Anita Bonds (D-At Large), both of whom claimed over $46,000 in contributions. Former Councilmember Michael Brown collected $31,000, while Elissa Silverman claimed $25,000, Paul Zukerberg $11,000 and Perry Redd $3,670.

With just over a month to go until the special election, Frumin has the most money in the bank, with over $97,000 to burn through. (In January, he reported raising over $80,000.) Mara has $53,000 left on hand, while Silverman has just over $47,000, Brown $28,000 and Zukerberg $15,000. Bonds’ full report wasn’t available this morning.

A few outtakes from the campaign finance reports:

>> Support for Mara comes from all over the political spectrum. While he took in $1,000 from Freedom’s Defense Fund, which supported controversial Missouri senatorial candidate Todd Akin last year, he also collected money from Downtown Cluster of Congregations director and possible Ward 1 council candidate Terry Lynch.

>> Like a good D.C. dive bar? Then Silverman might be your candidate—she took in a $200 contribution from the owner of The Raven Bar & Grill. She also led the charge in terms of sheer number of donors to her campaign: 214 over the last two months.

>> Love Uber? So does Mara. His campaign spent over $450 on 19 trips with the high-end on-demand livery service. Mara doesn’t own a car, and while he often takes the bus, the rigors of campaigning sometimes require a black car. (Mara’s campaign says that various people have used the cars, including carloads of volunteers. They are faster than cabs, they say. Mara himself, though, doesn’t bill his campaign for transportation.)

>> Who’s advertising where? Silverman put $275 towards ads on Borderstan and $940 into Capital Community News, Redd has put a few small amounts into Facebook ads, Frumin hit The Current Newspapers and Capital Community News, and Mara focused his efforts on The Current.

>> Smallest donation? $3 in cash to Redd, who is the Statehood Green Party candidate.

>> Biggest (self-) donation? $10,000, which Frumin gave his own campaign. All told, he’s put in $20,000 of his own money into the race. Zukerberg kicked in $2,000 during this reporting period, for a total of $5,100 to his own campaign.

>> Most famous donor? Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Tex.), who gave Brown $100.
