Luke Ravenstahl

The campaign finance reports are in for Pittsburgh candidates, and Mayor Luke Ravenstahl is sitting pretty. The incumbent has about $910K on hand.

Here are the numbers.

Pittsburgh Mayor

Luke Ravenstahl (Mayor)
Cash on hand: $748,589
Raised since Jan. 1: $500,611
Expenses since Jan. 1: $94,186

Michael Lamb (City Controller)
Cash on hand: $212,088
Raised: $208,653
Expenses: $58,594

Bill Peduto (City Council)
Cash on hand: $260,942
Raised: $329,671
Expenses: $68,729

Lamb loaned himself $50,000, Early Returns notes. Ravenstahl also filed his subsequent report covering January. Here are his latest numbers:

Cash on hand: $909,695
Raised since Jan. 1: $183,075
Expenses since Jan. 1: $29,969

Worth note: As Early Returns reported, some of Raventsahl’s contributions are maxed-out at the $8,000 PAC/$4,000 individual ceiling, so he can only spend half of those contributions for the primary and save the rest for the general. That could matter this year. Former Pa. Auditor General Jack Wagner is rumored to be considering a general election run for Mayor as an independent.
