Mike Nickel became the second Edmonton mayoral candidate to release a list of campaign donors Wednesday night, revealing nearly $415,000 in campaign fundraising.
He had promised earlier Wednesday to release the data to the public.
The list of more than 900 contributions ranges in value from $5 to $5,000.
In a social media post, he gave his “sincere thanks & appreciation for every nickel donated.”
The total fundraised may place Nickel on equal footing with frontrunner Amarjeet Sohi; Sohi did not disclose exact donation amounts but rather tallies of donations under funding levels. At minimum, he had fundraised $400,000, and possibly up to $1 million, 10 days before the Oct. 25 election.
Sohi has promised to update the list before Monday.
Sohi and Nickel’s seven remaining opponents are required to release a final list of contributions and expenditures to Edmonton Elections before March 1, 2022.
