All four Littleton city council candidates have filed their first round of finance reports, which show varying levels of financial support for each candidate.

The first reports show contributions and expenditures for the reporting period ending Sept. 19.

Andrea Vukovich Peters, who is running unopposed to represent District 4, has raised the highest amount of campaign funds at $10,100.

Although she has raised the most money, she only has two donors.

Tom Brown from Highlands Ranch, donated $10,000 to her campaign.

Peters said Brown is a relative who is retired and was “just being overly supportive” of her campaign.

Her other donor, William Airy, donated $100 because he saw her campaign on social media, Peters said.

Peters’ campaign finance form does not include Airy’s address, which she said is because he did not provide that information as was requested when he donated.

Peters said she does not have more donors because she closed her donation button on her website after these donations. With the amount of money she already had from Brown — and her opponent, current District 4 Councilmember Kelly Milliman, dropping from the race — she said she did not see a need to gather more money.

Robert Reichardt, who is running unopposed for District 2, has raised about $1,903. His donations are mainly from Littleton residents.

He also has a donation of about $100 from Rebecca McClellan, who represents the 6th Congressional District on the Colorado State Board of Education.

Christopher Campbell, who is running against At-Large Councilmember Pam Grove, has $3,550 in contributions.

A large part of this funding is from a $3,000 loan to himself.

In addition, he has a $500 donation from a Littleton resident and a $50 donation from Jaylen Mosqueira, who lives in Grand Junction.

Mosqueira ran as a Republican candidate for Colorado House District 28 against Democrat David Ortiz who won the seat last year.

Campbell said Mosqueira is a family friend. Since he is involved in politics and is from the Littleton area, Campbell said he knew he would be a good person to reach out to for support of his campaign.

Campbell said he is confident his next financial report will show growing support from the community.

Grove has about $5,131 in contributions, $2,000 of which is a loan to herself.

The rest of her funding is from Littleton residents and one Centennial resident.

Pat Dunahay, co-president of the Littleton Business Chamber, donated $400 to Grove’s campaign.

The next round of campaign financing information is due from candidates on Oct. 17.
