Yes, it has gotten expensive but…

Today’s Kenosha News highlights how expensive it has become to run in local races. Gone are the days of spending a couple of hundred dollars and hoping for the best.

Today you probably will end up spending a couple of thousand dollars and still hope for the best.

This is what the Kenosha News is listing as having been spent so far on aldermaic races:

G. John Ruffolo- $4292.75

Ray Misner, alderman for the 13th District, $3,945.67.

Ralph Nudi, a 4th District candidate, with $2,456.84.

Anthony Nudo, a 11th District candidate, with $2,456.72.

David Bogdala, a 17th District candidate, with $1,793.30.

Fausto Fioravanti, a 6th District candidate, with $1,759.70.

Kathy Carpeneter, a 5th District candidate, with $1,753.93. (seriously, is it so difficult to spell my last name- this is a least the second time this has happened)

Peter Hellenbrand, a 13th District candidate, with $1,612.19.

Ron Frederick, alderman for the 11th District, with $1,469.01.

Mary Lou Christiansen, an 8th District candidate, with $1,460.63

CoryAnn St. Marie-Carls, a 2nd District candidate, with $1,448.

Michael Conforti, a 9th District candidate, with $1,305.56

I guess what this really means is to give generously to your favorite candidate.

Yes, it has gotten expensive but it has been worth it.
