Staff Report on October 26, 2016
Funds low in race for sheriff

With less than two weeks before voters officially cast their ballots, Hays County Sheriff incumbent Gary Cutler has just over $28,000 left in his war chest in his bid for reelection against challenger Rodrigo Amaya.

According to a campaign finance report filed 30 days before Election Day, Cutler, who has served as the Hays County Sheriff for six years and is running for reelection, had $28,015.25 in political contributions maintained as of Oct. 11.

Between July 5 and Oct. 11, Cutler received $100 in political contributions. 

Meanwhile, Amaya, who is a former Department of Public Safety Trooper, collected $1,400 in contributions from July 15 to Oct. 11

Roughly $1,000 was contributed from the Group of Legal Specialists out of Harlingen. Amaya also collected an additional $400 from four other contributors. Amaya had no political contributions maintained as of Oct. 11.

But amid a race that’s been hotly contested, the amount of political spending between the two has been limited.

Cutler has spent roughly $2,100 from July to October, with $1,050 of that contributed to various fundraisers, including the Friends Foundation and the Hays County Young Republicans.

Since July, Cutler has only spent $7,675 on his campaign. Roughly $5,500 was spent between Feb. 23 and June 30.

Amaya has spent $2,800 on his campaign, with $1,968 being spent from July 15 to Oct. 11.

The entirety of Amaya’s $1,968 expense went to campaign signs from Allred Advertising of San Antonio.
