The seven candidates vying to replace outgoing Arlington Mayor Jeff Williams have spent a huge range of money, from under $5,000 to over $300,000.

Here’s a look at who’s spending what, and how much money they have on hand for the May 1 election, according to campaign finance reports posted on the city’s website.

Jim Ross has far outspent all other candidates at $311,347 so far with about $12,000 on hand.

Ross, an attorney and business owner endorsed by outgoing Mayor Jeff Williams who cannot run due to term limits, has used the money to pay political consultants and purchase signs and fliers.

In a written statement, Ross said, “Since the beginning of the campaign, I have talked about helping the economy recover from COVID, protecting families from violent crime, improving our roads, and maintaining an honest and transparent City Hall. My finance reports indicate that my platform and principles are resonating with both voters and contributors.”

Michael Glaspie, a former at-large District 8 council member and minister, has spent $40,755 with $6,872 on hand.

Marvin Sutton, District 3 council member and retired air traffic controller, has spent $15,149.91 with about $1,388 on hand.
