The money behind
Portland’s next council.

Tiffany Koyama Lane leads in all cash raised. Steve Novick leads if you leave out City matching money. Koyama Lane’s $368,366.85 includes $277,508.00 from the City. Novick’s $206,150.39 includes $108,201.00. Both views matter: one shows campaign resources, the other shows money from outside the matching program.

Torres reports $296,927.00 in total cash, including $200,000.00 in reviewed City matches. The chart includes smaller campaigns; 12 other candidates lack reviewed records and are not shown as $0.

The City restored higher matching limits on June 24. A large City deposit may reflect gifts made earlier, not a sudden rush of new donors. City notice.

Arnold reports $370,715.15 in all cash raised, including $278,349.00 in City matches. Without those matches, Arnold reports $92,366.15 and Zimmerman reports $106,298.40. The two chart views compare total campaign resources and cash from outside the matching program.

District 3 campaigns report $125,068.04 from outside versus $50,101.92 from inside the district among cash we can place. District 4 reports $115,000.45 from inside versus $94,039.63 outside.

Much of the money has no reliable location. The charts use reported addresses or ZIPs, never publish street addresses, and leave out City matching deposits.

At least 180 of 1,306 listed individual donor entries appear in more than one reviewed campaign. Each district elects three councilors, so supporting several candidates is not necessarily hedging.

The official summaries retrieved September 27 reported $229,675.22 in cash on hand for Arnold and $104,923.78 for Green. Money raised and money still in the account are different questions.

More cash on hand can mean more resources for the closing weeks. It does not tell us whose earlier spending worked.

The same September 27 summaries reported $45,000.00 in outstanding loans for Zimmerman. Debt is separate from cash on hand.

The balances come from committee reports, not bank audits. Unpaid bills and loans may reduce what campaigns can actually spend.

Our supplier investigation shows who received the 2,978 reported payments from these campaigns.

The reviewed voter-guide roster has one named auditor candidate, Simone Rede. Her linked committee records $6,780.78 in cash contributions and no reviewed City matching receipts in this window. The absence of a recorded payment does not establish program ineligibility.

Her last recorded cash contribution is October 7, 2026. Later empty months are not enough to conclude that she stopped soliciting or receiving money. With no second named candidate on the checked roster, a comparative fundraising leaderboard would add no useful race evidence.

Oregon’s larger database contains 341,322 records from 1,932 filing groups. The biggest totals mix candidates and political committees, so they are not a race leaderboard.

The governor’s race investigation follows the money behind Christine Drazan and Tina Kotek. The statewide investigation looks at big-picture funding and disclosure. Race-by-race stories elsewhere in Oregon still need more verified candidate links. Federal races require separate FEC data.
