Mike Jordan leads in overall campaign fundraising in the Santa Barbara City Council races, while Alejandra Gutierrez and Wendy Santamaria have raised roughly about the same amount of money in their highly competitive battle.

Jordan, the incumbent in District 2, has raised about $39,500 this year in his bid for a second term. He has a whopping $73,665 in the bank, money that was left over from his previous campaign.

His little-known opponent, Terra Taylor, reported raising $75 and has $27 in the bank.

The statements are for contributions received up until Sept. 21.

Jordan’s money comes from parts of the community, with contributions from Plowman Assets Inc., a Camarillo company, for $2,500. He also received $2,000 from the Santa Ynez Band of Mission Indians.

Jordan represents the Mesa and part of Santa Barbara’s lower Westside.

In the District 1 battle to represent the Eastside, incumbent Gutierrez has raised about $25,400 and has $11,108 in cash on hand.

Gutierrez issued a press release a week ago saying that people were taking her signs, and then in a broadcast media story said that about “$4,000” worth of her signs had been stolen or vandalized.

According to her campaign filings, she spent $1,715 on a company called Signs.com. She spent another $2,500 on a company called Vista Print and then $800 at Costco; it’s unclear what the Vista Print and Costco expenditures were for.

Gutierrez’s largest donation this cycle is from the Laborers Local 220 Political Action Committee for $2,500. She also received $1,500 from a company called South Coast Business and a contribution of $500 from Ken Saxon, founder of the leadership group Leading From Within.

Santamaria has raised $25,120 for her campaign and has about $19,300 in the bank. She received $5,500 from United Auto Workers Region 5, the Western States Political Action Committee. She received another $3,500 from retired Wall Street Journal reporter Eileen White Read. She also received $250 from Santa Barbara County First District Supervisor Das Williams.

Cruzito Herrera Cruz is also in the contest. He did not report raising any money.

In District, 3, the Westside, incumbent Oscar Gutierrez raised contributions totaling $18,654 and has about 17,704 in cash on hand. He had about $8,500 in the bank from his previous campaign.

He accepted $1,000 donations from Asti Holding Co. and Ben Bollag, as well as $500 from the Democratic Women of Santa Barbara County.

His opponent, martial arts sensei Tony Becerra, has raised about $14,748. He reported $14,661.56 in the bank but an outstanding debt of $8,179.

Becerra accepted a contribution of $5,500 from Meridian Group Real Estate Management Inc. and the Santa Barbara Rental Property Association. He also took in $500 from Mike Brashears of Brashears Insurance.

In Goleta, Mayor Paula Perotte has raised about $20,183 and has $18,970 in the bank. She had about $14,500 from her previous mayoral campaign. Her opponent, community activist Rich Foster, has raised $4,800 and has $1,700 in the bank.

In Goleta’s District 3, Jennifer Smith, executive director of the Legal Aid Foundation of Santa Barbara County, has raised $16,038. Her opponent, lifelong Goleta resident Ethan Woodill, has raised about $400. Woodill has said his focus is on speaking to voters directly and not taking community contributions.

In District 4, incumbent Stuart Kasdin is running against Eric Gordon.

Kasdin reported raising only about $250, while Gordon is not raising money for the seat.
