University City Mayor Joe Adams raised from April through June nearly four times as much money than State Rep. Theodore “Ted” Hoskins, D-Berkeley, a competitor for the Democratic nomination for state senator from the 14th district, campaign finance reports show.
But Hoskins has more money available because he brought to the state Senate race money from his past state House ones. He has $36,280.04 in his campaign war chest.
Adams has obtained $16,435 all in the reporting period of April 1 to June 30. He reported spending nothing thus far. Hoskins said he has raised $4,225 and spent $933.85 in the same reporting period.
Former State Rep. Esther Haywood, D-Bellerive, a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the state Senate seat, filed a statement saying she had not received or spent more than $500 between last Oct. 1 and June 30.
The candidates recently filed the campaign finance reports with the state ethics commission.
Donating to Adams’s campaign were developers Hutkin Development Co. and an affiliate of developer Joe Edwards.
Contributing to Adams’s campaign were former University City Mayor Janet Majerus; former St. Louis Mayor Vincent Schoemehl; retired University City City Manager Frank Ollendorff; Jeff Rainford, chief of staff for St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay; Schnuck Markets Inc. and Vintage Vinyl.
The campaign committee for St. Louis Alderman Lyda Krewson, D-28th Ward, made a donation.
Hoskins received a contribution from 80th legislative district committee. Most of his spending was for a phone bank.
