• Campaign finance reports are not available for council candidate Katherine Todd and former council candidate Mike Ward, who died unexpectedly on May 3, due to their having filed their statements of organization for their campaigns too late in the election cycle for them to be required to submit financial information. Data on Todd’s fundraising will be available following the conclusion of the next three-month fundraising period on July 15.

The Save the Cultural Park Committee, which was formed to support a referendum on the city council’s rezoning of part of the Sedona Cultural Park for use as a car camp, reported that it has raised $495 in cash and $2,012.67 in in-kind contributions for a total of $2,507.67.*
