Mayoral candidate Kim Krushell released her campaign donors, revealing more than $185,000 raised at minimum.

According to her campaign website, Krushell garnered donations from 268 people, with more than half being between $100 and $399, and $1,000 and $2,999.

“It’s part of my transparency and accountability and we have no problem in releasing it,” Krushell previously told CTV News.

Amarjeet Sohi, who also only provided ranges of donations fundraised $400,000 at minimum and possibly up to $1 million, 10 days before the Oct. 18 election.
Sohi promised to update his fundraising tallies before Monday.

Final contribution lists and campaign expenditures must be released to Edmonton Elections before March 1, 2022.
Diana Steele released her campaign expenditures and also the list of people who donated.
Outgoing mayor Don Iveson raised $618,000 during his campaign in 2013 and $396,000 when he campaigned for his second term in 2017, according to donor lists he released.
Brian “Breezy” Gregg, Augustine Marah, and Vanessa Denman are also running for mayor.
Rick Comrie and Abdul Malik Chukwudi both dropped out of the race and endorsed Nickel as their choice for mayor.
