Republican Coty Wamp, who is challenging Hamilton County District Attorney Neal Pinkston for re-election on the May 3 primary ballot, held a fundraising lead on financial disclosure forms filed Monday.
Wamp raised more than $130,000 from July through mid-January, the fundraising reporting period, compared to Pinkston’s $68,000.
In a Tuesday emailed statement, Wamp called the fundraising lead “unprecedented” for a challenger facing an incumbent.
“The District Attorney’s Office, under my leadership, will have entirely new priorities,” she said. “My fundraising success is just one of many signs that the status quo is being rejected.”
The maximum donations she received included individuals and business owners such as Kevin Boehm, president of Boehm Real Estate & Investment Co.
