Two candidates for contested municipal races in Mountain Home have filed campaign activity reports since Tuesday’s deadline.
Candidates seeking city, county or school board positions in the Nov. 6th election and receiving contributions or having made expenditures in excess of $500 were required to file pre-election reports by Oct. 30th with the respective county clerk’s office.
After Tuesday’s deadline, a review of the reports in the Baxter County Clerk’s office revealed information was on file for two of the three candidates seeking the office of mayor of Mountain Home. Reports were filed by candidates Dave Almond and Hillrey Adams. However, a report was not submitted by candidate Nancy Osmon.
Records now indicate Osmon having filed a late report on Nov. 1st.
Osmon’s report indicates she has received contributions of $8,250. The amount includes $2,500 in contributions from her husband, former Mountain Home Mayor Dave Osmon. Nancy Osmon’s report reflects campaign expenses of $8,029.
Adams’ report indicates contributions of $6,610. The amount includes a $1,000 contribution from Adams to his own campaign. His expenses totaled $7,436.
Candidate Almond’s report indicates contributions of $1,000, with expenses of $1,530.
Two seats are contested on the Mountain Home City Council.
At the close of the filing period, records reflected only incumbent Jennifer Baker having submitted a pre-election report for the Ward 2, Position 2 seat. Her challenger Clint Czeschin did not file a report by the deadline. However, records in the county clerk’s office reflect him having submitted a campaign activity report on Nov. 1st.
Czeschin’s report reflects him having loaned his campaign $9,073. His contributions total $1,300, with expenses of $9,521.
Baker’s report reflects contributions totaling $625, with expenses at $1,036.
Neither incumbent Carl Graves or challenger Bob Van Haaren have submitted reports for the Ward 1, Position 1 seat on the Mountain Home City Council.
In the lone county race, challenger Shane Tilley, who is seeking the quorum court justice of the peace for District 8 seat, submitted a report by the deadline showing contributions of $1,710, with expenses of $1,585. Incumbent Edna Fusco had not filed a pre-election report as of mid day Friday.
Again, only those candidates receiving contributions or making expenditures in excess of $500 are required to file pre-election reports with the respective county clerk’s office.
However, final reports are required for all candidates regardless of the amount of contributions or expenditures. These reports are due Jan. 2nd.
