By spending more than $32,000 (to date), Attorney Mike Spencer is spending three times as much money as Acting Chief Criminal Deputy Katie Svoboda in his bid to take back the Prosecutor’s Office. . As a single candidate, our database mining shows he may very well have raised more money than any other single candidate in recent county history. Spencer says: I haven’t personally solicited any money at all,” Spencer said. “If I don’t win, I’m going to feel bad, but I’ll feel bad for the county because I am putting my money where my mouth is in order to do what I need to do to turn around that office. This is something I really want — and I’m proving it with my own money. Maybe I’m not going to have the kitchen I was going to remodel, but I’ve been defending my record or experience. I’ve been defending all these untrue rumors. “Some have generously donated voluntarily to my campaign but, other than a select few, I have not solicited funds other than having contribution information on my campaign website,” Spencer added. “No telephone calls or mailings. This decision was made to avoid possible criticisms that future decisions as Prosecuting Attorney could be influenced by campaign contributions. I have borne the substantial costs of this campaign largely on my own. ... The false allegations of my opponent’s supporters have required me to spend an inordinate amount of money in refuting those false claims, which otherwise would have been unnecessary. It would be interesting to note if prior campaign’s expenditures have been adjusted for inflation.”
