LINCOLN MAYOR: Mudslinging and money spent: a closer look at the mayor's race
LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) -Throughout the city, signs for candidates in the race for mayor, city council and school boards are starting to pop up. Although this election will consist of a shorter ballot, there’s still a lot to know before casting your ballot.
From political ads to yard signs and billboards, it’s hard to miss that a city election is just around the corner. The most prominent race is the one for mayor.
Current Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird (D) is looking to keep her seat. She’s running against State Senator Suzanne Geist and Stan Parker, a former Husker football player and radio host.
It’s been an expensive race. According to Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure Records, Geist has raised the most money with $1.1 million and has also spent the most, nearly $742,000 so far.
Gaylor Baird (D) has raised $820,000 and spent $189,000. Parker has raised little over $49,000 and spent $30,000.
