Governor
State Treasurer Doug Ducey raised eyebrows by reporting more than $1 million raised for his exploratory committee, about $204,000 of which he’ll have to save for the general election, if he gets there. Christine Jones reported raising nearly $591,000, though a half million of it came out of her own pocket. Jones got more attention for what she spent than what she raised after her campaign finance report showed that she’d already burned through $540,000, much of it on consultants. Mesa Mayor Scott Smith didn’t file a report because his campaign started after the beginning of the year, but as of the end of January, a source close to Smith said he’d raised more than $300,000. Secretary of State Ken Bennett, Sen. Al Melvin and former Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas, the other Republicans in the race, are all running as Clean Elections candidates. On the Democratic side, nominee-in-waiting Fred DuVal reported raising $598,000 into his primary election account and $205,000 into his general election account.

Secretary of State
On the Republican side of the race, Mesa businessman Wil Cardon reported raising $141,000, though $100,000 was a loan he made to his campaign, while Sen. Michele Reagan raised $117,000. As of the end of 2013, Reagan had only spent about $15,000 to Cardon’s $67,000. The third Republican in the race, Rep. Justin Pierce, who is running with Clean Elections funding, at the end of the year reported collecting 109 of the 2,800 $5 qualifying contributions he’ll need, though his campaign says he’d collected about 500 by the end of January. Former Attorney General Terry Goddard, who is running unopposed for the Democratic nomination now that Sen. Leah Landrum Taylor has dropped out of the race, didn’t have to file a report because he started his campaign after the start of the year. He said he’s collected about 150 qualifying contributions for Clean Elections and about $12,000 in seed money.

Attorney General
Felecia Rotellini, the 2010 Democratic nominee who is now running unopposed in her party’s primary, raised more than Republican candidates Mark Brnovich and Tom Horne combined. Rotellini pulled in $445,000 for her primary election committee and another $118,000 for the general election, and has spent about $116,000 so far. Horne, the GOP incumbent, raised $277,000 for the primary, including a $100,000 campaign loan from his sister, and another $24,000 for the general election. Horne has $301,000 on hand for the primary. Brnovich reported raising just $51,000 for his challenge to Horne.

State Treasurer
Former Tempe Mayor Hugh Hallman raised more than four times as much as his three opponents in the Republican primary. His Jan. 31 campaign finance report showed $157,000 raised. Former Chandler City Councilman Martin Sepulveda was a distant second with $24,000, while former Arizona Republican Party Chairman Randy Pullen only reported raising $6,600. Peoria businessman Jeff DeWit, who nearly ended his candidacy before recently recommitting to the race, raised only $5,000. No Democratic candidates have jumped into the race yet.
