Mayoral Candidates Raise $

Steve Brown is raising money from people while Scott Foster is holding on to past contributions and Tommy Elsten is self-funding. That's the takeaway from the latest round of financial disclosure forms recently filed.

All three would appear to have significant funds and be on track to run competitive races. Elsten has clearly purchased and distributed bumper stickers, as they can be seen on cars and trucks all over Hendersonville.

Brown and Foster both estimate at least $60,000 will be needed to run a successful race.
