On the debit side, challenger Morgan has reported expenses of $13,876 since Sept. 30. She paid $7,000 to Salem-based Adams & Co. for consulting services and $4,357 to reimburse herself for personal expenses.
Morgan is able to use money left in her state representative campaign fund for the commissioner race. She began the calendar year with $28,830. She has reported $14,000 in contributions and in-kind payments for the year, along with $28,488 in expenses for both her state representative position and the commissioner’s race.
Currently, she has an ending cash balance of $14,342, according to an online accounting provided by the Oregon Secretary of State’s Office.
Kittelman began the year with $558 in her campaign account. She has reported $5,165 in expenses, including $2,750 for a contract for advertising preparation with David Jaques, her campaign manager and personal adviser. She had paid Jaques $850 so far on the account receivable debt.
She has also paid $1,429 to Umpqua Printing of Roseburg, $595 to the Douglas County Fairgrounds, $410 to Towers Marketing of Eugene and $400 to Signs & More in Roseburg, according to the Secretary of State’s records.
Patrick Starnes of Lookingglass, who is exploring a run for commissioner but hasn’t officially filed, has raised $1,569 and spent $1,280. All of his contributions have been $100 or less, so individual contributors don’t have to be identified.
In the other county commissioner race, Commissioner Doug Robertson has raised $27,970. His opponent, Roseburg real estate broker Rich Raynor, has collected $3,550.
Robertson received $2,500 from Milton Herbert of Roseburg and $1,000 apiece from Lone Rock Timber, Ronica Bruce, J. Thompson, Murray & Atchley LLC, Marks-Murray LLC, Randall/Pacific Group, Dave Leonard, Paul Utz, Andrew Kahn and James Ratzlaff, all from Roseburg.
Raynor received $600 from John Raynor of Wasilla, Alaska, $500 from Roger Snyder and $250 from Stratton Bros., both from Roseburg. He also contributed $500 of his own money.
