By now we all know how much Louisville’s mayoral candidates have raised for their various campaigns. But where’d they get that cash? And what are they spending it on?

Let’s take a look at the highlights from their campaign finance reports:

Hal Heiner

NOTE – Tandy’s campaign sent in the disbursements and they have been updated after the jump.

See Heiner’s disbursements and information from our other mayoral candidates after the jump…

Notable Disbursements:

• $1,800 deposit for a fundraiser at The Patron (I wholeheartedly approve! Mmmm!) – $106,250 was raised there
• All kinds of cash to Ellen Reitmeyer for fundraising

I’m left wondering how it’s humanly possible for Heiner’s camp to so frequently neglect to report spousal and employer information.

Chris Thieneman

• Loaned himself $100,000

Notable Contributions:

No word on whether or not these numbers include payments/services he’s providing a couple “journalists” in exchange for positive press.

On an interesting note: Greg contributed $100 to Kimberly Greenwell after just months ago turning his nose up at her.  At least he’s more open and transparent than the other candidates in this race.

$47,000+ worth that weren’t itemized on his report – wonder what he’s got to hide? All right for campaign finance transparency. I’ve requested the entire report from Megan, but we won’t hold our breath waiting to receive it.

UPDATE: Tandy’s campaign finally passed along the disbursements. Let’s take a look…

• $8,000 to Demos Political Consulting/Richard Coelho
• $9,500 to megan brown – consulting / campaign manager
• $7,038.40 to Kyle Vaugh – Deputy Finance Director
• $8,112.82 to Albert H.J. Avant – Deputy Finance Director
• $2,629.87 on printing
• $1,364.10 on postage
• $400 to St. Stephen Church for tickets

Pretty good burn rate. It’s clear where his focus is: raising that dough.

Jim King
The Kentucky Registry of Election Finance still hasn’t released King’s report. Officials from the King Campaign promised the report to us on Friday, but nothing has shown up and those officials haven’t responded to subsequent requests and follow-up messages.  Not sure what we’re supposed to assume when a campaign doesn’t take campaign finance transparency seriously, but it is unacceptable.
