Just as he was early out of the gate, candidate for governor Dr. Fred Simon got his campaign finance report in on Jan. 4. According to the report, he raised $183,369 and spent $171,662 so far in his campaign. The reports are due on Saturday, so I don’t have much to compare it with. Joey Gilbert’s Oct. 15 report said he raised $201,429.
