More than $27,000 in campaign contributions have been collected by six candidates vying for a trio of Wimberley City Council seats up for grabs May 4, according to 30-day campaign finance reports.
Roughly $21,000 of that has been raised by Rebecca Minnick, Christine Byrne and Bo Bowman, who all are running on platforms opposing proposed plans for Aqua Texas to operate the city’s wastewater treatment system.
In the race for the Place 1 seat, currently occupied by council member Mike McCullogh, Wimberley Planning and Zoning (P&Z) commissioner Tim Dodson reported $2,875 in political contributions and $4,417.63 in political expenses. Dodson received contributions from McCullogh, who opted to forgo reelection, as well as from current city council member Craig Fore. Former Wimberley city council member Patricia Kelley, who resigned her seat in late 2018, also contributed to McCullough’s campaign.
