What Do You Get for $80.10?

Published: Thursday, June 5, 2008 1:19 PM PDT



After spending an unprecedented $4,794,256 on his mayoral campaign, Steve Francis got 59,846 votes.

Doing the math, that means he spent $80.10 for each vote.

By comparison, Mayor Jerry Sanders spent $8.34 per vote. (He received 91,850 votes and has spent $766,000 to date.) The calculation doesn't include donations received after May 17.
