Candidates List Contributors to State Legislative Race

CENTRAL — Two candidates for state representative from House District 65 in this Saturday’s special election have funded their campaigns in quite different ways.

Metro Councilman Scott Wilson, who was unopposed for reelection  to the Council last fall, started the campaign with nearly $45,000 left over in his campaign account and has raised additional funds from a variety of sources, mostly business enterprises.  His opponent, Barry Ivey, has funded almost his entire campaign with his own personal funds.  Here is a listing:
