Former planning commissioner and Go! Austin/¡Vamos! Austin leader Carmen Llanes Pulido brought in just over $71,000 from almost 500 people, and had nearly $8,600 available to spend.

Former City Council member Kathie Tovo drew about 370 contributions totaling more than $57,000, and maintained about $44,000 as of late June.
