A challenger for the Warren County supervisor District 2 seat continued to attract more campaign money than all other hopefuls for local races in a second round of campaign finance reports filed Friday.

De Reul, running as an independent in the north Vicksburg-based district, reported a $734.40 donation from herself during the reporting period ending May 31, according to required spending and fundraising data submitted to the circuit clerk’s office. It brings her contributions to $9,005.20 since Jan. 1. Her $1,427.75 spent for the recent period includes office rent and records research.

Reports on campaign cash were received by 27 of 38 candidates in contested races for chancery clerk, circuit clerk, sheriff, tax assessor, tax collector and the county board, according to the circuit clerk’s office.
