Dollars donated by Zip Code during September and October 2013 for Rockville’s mayoral campaign.
This weekend I’ve had a chance to analyze the campaign fund reports for September and October for the mayoral race, which is probably the race that’s of greatest interest because it has attracted the largest amount of money and the largest number of donors. As I mentioned in a previous post, Bridget Newton is the leader with $17,300 raised by October 27 and Mark Pierzchala at about 60% of that amount at $10,040 (this does not include personal contributions or loans; I’m examining funding support from the community). The difference, however, is that Pierzchala raised 91 percent of his funds within Rockville compared to 72 percent for Newton. If elections run on money, here’s a look inside the engine:
| Zip Code | Mark Pierzchala | Bridget Newton |
| 20850 | $8,065 | $11,280 |
| 20851 | $150 | $300 |
| 20852 | $325 | $250 |
| 20854 | $350 | $600 |
| Other | $950 | $4,900 |
| Total | $10,040 | $17,330 |
