So far, the 12 candidates running for five seats on the Metro school board have raised more than $300,000 among them — some wrangling cash from known politicians like former Gov. Phil Bredesen and others from folks like English-only supporter Lee Beaman.
Below, Pith has outlined which individuals and PACs have maxed out their contributions in each race. Individuals can donate a maximum of $1,500 in each campaign and political action committees can give as much as $7,600 in each race. (Read over the full disclosures for the first quarter here. Disclosures for the second quarter have yet to be uploaded to the Davidson County Election Commission's website.)
This week's cover story digs a bit more into the money and forces at work in this year's school board races. Read it here.
