Who's Donating to the Dalton, Hughes Mayoral Campaigns?

Mayor Jon Dalton has far outraised challenger Barbara Ann Hughes in the Town and Country mayoral race.

In his bid for re-election to the top post of Town and Country, Mayor Jon Dalton has far outraised challenger Barbara Ann Hughes, a former alderman. That's according to campaign finance reports filed with St. Louis County on March 25. Dalton's campaign committee raised $17,495 against Hughes' $1,624.  The gap in fundraising has allowed Dalton's campaign to outspend Hughes' by $9,000.
