Marana candidates handling campaign finance in varying ways
If you drive around north Marana, you’ll see clusters of campaign signs promoting Marana Town Council candidates. Some signs are small, with a name and simple slogan. Others are larger, flashier, with a photo.
Campaign signs are not cheap. Neither are mailers or events. Some of the council candidates are not focused on drumming up donations to fund their campaign, but instead put their faith in the power of communicating directly with residents. Others candidates are funding their own supplies or using signs from campaigns past, while others are turning to the community for help.
Only two Marana Town Council candidates have raised any money for their campaigns, as indicated in reports filed mid-July. Challengers Jack Neubeck and Jeff Gray each received donations, with Neubeck’s far exceeding Gray’s.
