In Spanish Fork, mayoral candidate Sherman E. Huff raised most of his campaign money after the primary election, including a $200 donation from Dale R. Barney, the current mayor, who is not seeking re-election. In all, his campaign expenses have totaled $2,347.

Joe Thomas, the other Spanish Fork mayoral candidate, spent $3,046 by the primary and an additional $143 by the end of October, according to campaign financial reports.

In Mapleton, Stan Sorensen, who is challenging Mayor Dean Allan, has spent $997, with no listed campaign contributions. Allan has raised $2,500. As of Tuesday he had spent $1,038. Sorensen did not list anyone as a contributor to his campaign.

In the northern part of the county, money could play a role in the race for Lehi mayor, where candidates reported a huge discrepancy in funds. Incumbent mayor Kenneth J. Greenwood, bolstered by an $8,150 contribution from a citizens' political action committee, reported a total of $11,350 in contributions, of which he has spent $4,992 as of Oct. 25.

Challenger Howard Johnson reported $850 in contributions, and nearly all of that has been spent (he had $11.48 remaining). More than a third of his contributions, $300, came from his own pocket.

The situation is reversed in the City Council race. Challengers Craig Laurence, at $1,130, and Gordon Miner, at $900, have outspent incumbents Stephen Holbrook and Johnny L. Barnes who have spent $809 and $657 respectively.
