When the third quarter of election campaign finance reporting ended on Sept. 30, the intense heat and intense campaigning of the Chandler mayoral race this summer had been over for a couple of months.
By the time both Matt Orlando and Jeff Weninger had turned in their third-quarter reports by the Oct. 15 deadline, data showed the two candidates got a few late contributions, though not really from surprising sources, and also paid many bills to end up with nearly the same balance.
Orlando, the mayor-elect who won the July 21 primary election by about a 58%-to-42% margin, and Weninger didn’t have much time to garner new contributions after the June 30 second-quarter finance reporting deadline and the election, though much of Weninger’s spending was logged after June 30.
