"It’s not like the local political groups for Realtors are totally in the bag for Mayor Robbie Perkins.
The N.C. Realtors PAC gave his opponent, Councilwoman Nancy Vaughan, a $500 campaign donation just last month, even though Perkins is a commercial real estate broker.
Campaign cash score: $40,650 to $500. Advantage: Perkins.
Most of that money came from the N.C. Homeowners Alliance, a local nonprofit that made use of a pass-through donation from the National Association of Realtors. It didn’t give that money to Perkins’ campaign directly, but bought $38,500 worth of mailers to support his candidacy.
...Perkins’ latest filing offers a window into his election day strategy.
He shows outlays for a rental van to drive voters to the polls...
...The candidates in Tuesday’s Greensboro City Council races raised more than $369,000 as of Oct. 21, the latest figures available from the Guilford County Board of Elections.
That doesn’t include outside group spending, like the $47,500 the N.C. Homeowners Alliance spent on mailers for Perkins and Councilman Zack Matheny.
Perkins raised the most by far, topping $106,000. He also relied the most on large donations, with more than $90,000 of his campaign cash coming from donors who gave $500 or more.
Local developer Marty Kotis was the most generous donor during these elections, though his contributions were mostly in-kind. He gave candidates billboard space worth about $14,000.
None of it went to Perkins."
