Aspen mayoral candidate Ann Mullins raised just over $1,000 more than her opponent, Torre, during the last reporting period in the April 2 runoff election.<\/p>\n

Since the two candidates received the most votes in the March 5 municipal election but failed to get 50 percent of the vote plus one, they have been on the campaign trail vying for the top elected post in City Hall.<\/p>\n

As of Tuesday afternoon, 1,202 ballots have been cast in this mail-in election, according to City Clerk Linda Manning.<\/p>\n

Between March 13 and March 25, Mullins raised $3,645 and Torre raised $2,500.<\/p>\n

Thus far in their campaigns<\/a>, which began this past winter in the lead-up to last month\u2019s election, Torre has raised just over $11,000 and Mullins almost $20,000, according to campaign finance reports.<\/a><\/p>\n

Mullins spent $3,721, with just over $1,000 on hand at the beginning of this latest reporting period.<\/p>\n

She received just over two dozen donations that ranged between $50 and $250, the maximum amount a candidate can receive in an election cycle.<\/p>\n

Jim DeFrancia, one of the developers behind the Gorsuch Haus hotel that Mullins supported as part of the Lift One corridor proposal that voters approved in March, gave $250 to her campaign.<\/p>\n

Nan Sundeen, the director of Pitkin County\u2019s health and human services and a Carbondale resident, donated $100 to Mullins\u2019 campaign. Aspen Daily News columnist Lorenzo Semple gave her $100 and Belly Up owner Michael Goldberg gave $250.<\/p>\n

She spent the most money on newspaper ads during the reporting period, along with posting and printing.<\/p>\n

Torre spent almost $2,700 between March 13 and March 25, with just over $2,100 on hand at the beginning of the reporting period.<\/p>\n

He had 21 donations, ranging from $50 to $250. His donors include Independence Square owner Terry Butler, affordable housing developer Peter Fornell and Pitkin County Sheriff Joe DiSalvo, all of whom gave $200 or more.<\/p>\n

Torre spent money in this reporting cycle on a promotional event at Aspen Tap, newspaper advertising and filers.<\/p>\n

The runoff is an all-mail election. If voters registered in Aspen have not received their ballots, contact the City Clerk\u2019s Office.<\/a><\/p>\n

Ballots will be accepted until 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 2. In-person voting can be done in the clerk\u2019s office on the second floor of City Hall.<\/p>\n
