Mayor Steve DeBrum has raised $42,151 in donations so far in his bid to get re-elected on Nov. 6.

It includes the biggest campaign donation in Manteca history in the form of a $5,000 donation from the Punjabi-American Association of Manteca.

Challenger Ben Cantu — who has yet to file the reporting form for the period ending Sept. 22 —was up to $12,275 earlier this month after a $1,200 in-kind donation from Pedro Oropeza in the form of office space.

In their last match up in 2014 DeBrum raised $46,404 and Cantu $6,649.

In the council race, newcomer David Breitenbucher raised $8,985 during the reporting period ending Sept. 22 to bring his overall total to $9,595 so far.

Incumbent Mike Morowit received $4,000 since the last reporting period that included John Kisst Sr., $1,000; Beacon Land Company, $1,000; Toni Raymus, $1,000, and Edward Machado, $1,000. Challenger Jose Nuno received $1,000 from the Punjabi-American Association of Manteca.

Chris Silva did not report receiving any donations over $1,000 since the last filing period ended July 31.

Under new reporting laws require donations of $1,000 or more have to be filed within 24 hours following the end of the first campaign reporting period on June 30. The deadline for filing disclosure statements for the period ending Sept. 22 is later this month.

So far Nuno leads the council fundraising effort with $28,634 in the campaign for two seats.

Overall between the six candidates $104,636 has been raised so far. The overall election cycle record for fundraising in Manteca was $125,000 the last time the two council seats and mayor’s position were up for grabs four years ago.

Gary Singh — who is now midway through his first four-year term — set the individual high mark of $51,405 in his successful 2014 campaign when there were only two council seats up for grabs.
