Anyone challenging incumbent Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness will need to consider how much money the mayor has in his political war chest, which is more than $456,000 to start election year 2019.

The “Fadness for Fishers” committee report to the Indiana Election Commission spanning the calendar year 2018 shows the campaign had $354,711 in cash on hand to start the year.  “Fadness for Fishers” received $256,060 in contributions during 2018, but had expenses totaling $154,003.  That left the campaign with $456,767 as the Republican primary election looms early in 2019.

Logan Day has announced the formation of an exploratory committee in 2019 for a Fishers mayoral run, so he has no campaign report for calendar year 2018.

Candidates will file one more financial report in April before the May 7th primary election.
