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.
