Based on Tom Lochner’s report on candidate finances (with figures as of October 16), and with the assumption that all money raised was ultimately spent in the election, the following table shows how much the candidates spent per vote received last Tuesday…
| Candidate | Money Raised | Votes | Cost |
| Kris Valstad (incumbent) | $10,400 | 1632 | $6.37/vote |
| Joe Eddy McDonald (incumbent) | $16,700 | 1724 | $9.69/vote |
| John Delgado | $5,600 | 2637 | $2.12/vote |
| Myrna de Vera | $10,600 | 2567 | $4.13/vote |
Looks like John and Myrna was well spent, they received a fair turnout for their efforts.
