The two contested races for state or district-level offices have shown very little in the way of financing since January.
Alan Sibley, a Republican challenger for Senate District 15, has the most year-to-date contributions of any candidate in any race with $4,058.
Sibley’s opponent, Republican incumbent Bart Williams, has received $500 in contributions.
District 15 includes most of Starkville and stretches west to Winona.
The numbers come from the most recent campaign finance reports the candidates were required to file by Wednesday with the Secretary of State’s Office.
The two candidates will face off in the Aug. 8 party primary.
Sibley’s donations include $2,000 from Elvin Yawn, $500 from Eric Chambers, $300 from Randy Craft and $200 from David Laughlin, as well as $1,058 in non-itemized contributions.
Williams donations include $300 from District 30 Sen. Dean Kirby and $200 in non-itemized contributions.
The Judicial District 16 District Attorney race has had no fundraising.
Marc Amos, incumbent Scott Colom and Jas Dalrymple all reported no contributions for the period.
The Secretary of State’s website does not show filings for the period from Chuck Easley.
Unopposed candidates include District 38 Rep. Cheikh Taylor (D-Starkville), District 39 Rep. Dana McLean (R-Columbus), District 41 Rep. Kabir Karriem (D-Columbus), District 16 Sen. Angela Turner Ford (D-West Point) and District 17 Sen. Chuck Younger (R-Lowndes County).
District 43 Rep. Rob Roberson (R-Starkville), also is running unopposed after his opponent, Kenneth Aasand, dropped out of the race.
