Candidates spent more than $100,000 in Warner Robins mayor’s race | Elections | Macon.com

WARNER ROBINS — To become mayor, Randy Toms spent about $45,000, or almost as much as the other five candidates combined.

But the race still has lingering financial effects. Two other candidates haven’t filed end-of-the-year financial reports that were due three weeks ago. Another candidate loaned his campaign $5,000 he’s not getting back.

That’s from a Telegraph review of filings with the Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission, which used to be known as the State Ethics Commission.

Reports filed so far show the race cost in total about $103,000 and drew contributions of about $110,000. Toms spent $44,738.82, including his spending in a runoff election against Joe Musselwhite.

Toms said former Mayor Chuck Shaheen told him to plan to spend about $60,000.
