After raising less than most of her contenders in the primary election this summer, Salt Lake City Councilwoman Erin Mendenhall has emerged as a behemoth fundraiser ahead of next week’s general election for city mayor.
The candidate has raked in $301,347 in donations since the last campaign finance deadline in August — handily outraising her opponent, state Sen. Luz Escamilla, who reported $189,081 in contributions, according to new numbers released Tuesday.
“This feels like another sign that the momentum we started building in the primary is still growing,” Mendenhall said in a prepared statement Tuesday.
