Challenger Pam Hemminger has raised more money than incumbent Mark Kleinschmidt in the race for Chapel Hill Mayor.

Campaign finance reports from July through September show Hemminger raised $12,400 dollars in her bid to upset Mayor Kleinschmidt in the upcoming municipal election.

Of that, she’s spent $4,600 and has $7,700 to spend as the campaign heats up. She received 122 donations in total; 31 of those were under $50 and 91 donations ranged from $50 to $336.

By contrast, Kleinschmidt took in a total of 71 donations, raising a total of $7,800. He’s spent $3,246 and has $4,636 on hand.

The other candidate, Gary Kahn, reports raising and spending just $5.

Kleinschmidt ran unopposed in 2013. In 2011, he faced spoof candidate Tim Sookram, and Kevin Wolfe, who dropped out midway.

He hasn’t faced strong opposition since 2009, when he narrowly beat Matt Czjakowski to win the mayor’s seat. During that election, Kleinschmidt participated in a town-sponsored Voter-Owned Election program. He qualified for $13,000 worth of public financing and raised an additional $5,000 on his own. The public financing program has since been discontinued by the state legislature.
