What are Doug Haney, Mayor Brainard and all the Incumbents hiding?
On April 1, 2019 a records request for the Statement of Economic Interest was acknowledged by Doug Haney. To date Doug and Mayor Jim Brainard have shielded those reports.

In 2015 Christine Pauley ran on Mayor Brainard’s slate of candidates. On his 2015 Campaign Finance Reports he claimed he spent $28,067.95 to assist in her election.
