A second round of financial disclosures due Oct. 7 for municipal elections candidates reveals a wide range of spending by Heber City hopefuls.

In the race for mayor, Councilmember Scott Phillips’ campaign continues to be the most expensive. He’s spent about $6,600 since the beginning of August, compared to Mayor Heidi Franco’s $4,000.

The disclosure reports detail only contributions and expenditures in August and September.

Overall, Franco has spent about $11,700 – roughly half of the $22,700 Phillips has poured into the race. Both mayoral candidates spent more in the first financial disclosure period than in the second.

In the race for Heber City Council, Morgan Murdock leads the spending. He logged about $3,000 in expenses for the past two months.

Corey Noyes has spent about $2,300 and has the most individual donors of any candidate.

Nick López reported just under $1,000 in campaign costs for this period.

Councilmember Yvonne Barney has spent the least on her campaign – about $600 in the past two months.

Election Day is Nov. 4.
