Alexandria Mayor Jacques Roy has raised a quarter-million dollars in his current reelection campaign, almost that much more than his two opponents combined.

According to reports required 30 days prior to the November 3 election, Roy had $205,000 on hand.

Opponent and City Council member Malcolm Larvadain had raised $12,300 with  $600 remaining; challenger Lorenzo Davis Sr. had spent all of $2,200 raised.

Larvadain reports a $2,000 contribution from the Eighth District Baptist Association and four other contributors in the $1,000 to $1,500 range.

Roy reports eight contributions at the $6,000 level:

Aegilus Health, Central Management Company, Sharon Booker Chicola, Neblett Beard & Arsenault, Pan American Engineers, Phillip Terrell Campaign Account, Ritchie Real Estate and RoyOMartin Family Trust.

His report lists 26 contributors in the $3,000 category and dozens in other ranges.

Spending by all three candidates has been for campaign materials, media buys, donations and such.

Complete reports for all three are viewable through the Louisiana Board of Ethics website – HERE.
