Vice Mayor Bob Livengood has raised in excess of $84,000 in his bid for mayor for the November election, nearly $77,520 more than his opponent Craig Donnelly.

The two mayoral and four council candidates were mandated by the state's Fair Political Practice Commission to disclose campaign monies raised from July 1, 2008 through Sept. 30, 2008.

The disclosure statements were due Monday. The next date for fund-raising statements to be submitted to City of Milpitas will be on Oct. 23. Contribution limits per individual donor are $350 per candidate.

Mayoral candidates

Donnelly, who works as a district director for state Assemblyman Gene Mullin in San Mateo County, has raised $6,800 through personal loans, and spent $5,037.

On Aug. 7, Donnelly loaned his campaign $1,800. In mid-September, he loaned his campaign another $5,000.

Donnelly spent $1,800 for his candidate's statement fee, and paid $3,237.17 for campaign signage and literature.

So far, Donnelly's campaign has received no contributions from outside sources.

This week, Donnelly said he was going to send out more mailers to encourage donations.

"There's a couple of major players that may be willing to help," he said.

Donnelly would not say how much more money he intends to raise for his campaign.

"I'm raising money now, and there will be enough money to run a good campaign," he said.
