CBC
Scott Gillingham raised more money than any of his competitors during his winning bid to become Mayor of Winnipeg.
The City of Winnipeg released the audited campaign financial reports for all candidates in the 2022 municipal election on Wednesday.
Gillingham raised a total of $293,487.42, which is $8,043.19 more than second-place candidate Glen Murray.
Murray held a big lead over all other candidates in voter polls throughout the campaign, but finished 4,391 votes behind Gillingham on election night.
Of the six mayoral candidates with the largest vote share, Gillingham had by far the biggest surplus, spending $7,090.03 less than he raised. Most other candidates had modest surpluses in the tens to hundreds of dollars.
Jenny Motkaluk, who finished in sixth place, had a deficit of $45,705.76.
The financial statements also show the names of everyone who donated more than $250 to a candidate.
Some notable donors to Gillingham's campaign include True North Sports and Entertainment chairman Mark Chipman, Food Fare grocery store owner Munther Zeid, and Conservative Member of Parliament Marty Morantz.
Murray's donors include Canadian Union of Public Employees president Gord Delbridge, businesswoman and former United Way president Gail Asper, and community activist Sel Burrows.
Some people donated to multiple candidates. Robert and Sandy Shindleman, of Shindico, donated to Murray, Motkaluk, and third-place candidate Kevin Klein. Abdo Albert Eltassi, president and CEO of Peerless Garments, donated to both Gillingham and Murray.
The list of the top-six mayoral candidates' campaign expenses are listed below. All financial reports are available on the city's election website.
