"Sep 2005 Toledo mayoral and city council at-large results":http://co.lucas.oh.us/documents/72/181/258/September%20Primary%20Official%20Results%20Summary.pdf (pdf file) * Registered Voters: 189,454 * Votes Cast: 42,132 * Voter Turnout: 22.24% In eight years, the number of registered voters in Toledo has declined by at least 25,000. br. A bit more about the 2013 mayoral primary. Sep 10, 2013 Blade "story":http://www.toledoblade.com/Politics/2013/09/10/Absentee-votes-put-Lopez-in-first-Collins-second.html q. The candidates for mayor filed campaign finance reports for the first six months. q.. * Lopez raised $103,393 * Bell raised $91,010 * McNamara raised $90,296 * Collins raised only $10,267 but he finished second. The top four mayoral candidates raised almost $300,000, and only 23,748 votes were cast for the Toledo mayoral part of the primary. From the Blade story: q. Lopez raised the most during the six-month period, $103,393, and ended the period with $23,906. q.. Lopez received 5,443 votes. q. Mr. Bell, a political independent, raised $91,010, and ended the period with $106,438 in his campaign warchest. Mr. McNamara raised $90,296, and ended the six-month period with $56,301. Mr. Collins operated with the least cash among the four main candidates. He reported contributions of $10,267 and cash on hand of $6,475. q.. Obviously, Collins did well with relatively little money. Top 2 candidates for the November general: * (I) Bell - $106,438 cash on hand * (I) Collins - $6,475 cash on hand So how did Collins finish second in the primary? q. Mayor Bell said he expected a general election face off with Mr. Collins. "I told these guys it would be Collins," the mayor said pointing at his reelection team. "The two [Democratic] candidates were shooting at each other, which they did..." Dan Wagner, president of Toledo Policer Patrolman's Association rank and file union, said Collins' support surged after the most recent televised debate. q.. #toledo - #politics - #elections
