The expenditures reported for legislators are also for an entire election cycle, Senate 2004-2007, House 2006-2007. To find these numbers on vpap.org, choose an individual House or Senate candidate and select the “show all elections for…” feature. Next, click on the amount spent as found on this page. Adjust the years to reflect the cycle and you will then find the amount a candidate spent on the entire election cycle. Some of the larger expenditures of unopposed candidates will be understood when you view them on www.vpap.org and see that these candidates contributed to other campaigns. The following legislators had primary opponents in 2007. Their reported expenditures include both the primary and the general election, and their expenditures are marked with an asterisk* to indicate combined expenditures. However, several of these with serious opposition in the primary were unopposed in the general election. Senators Delegates George Barker Dan Bowling Emmett Hanger Johnny Joannou Donald A. McEachin Jimmie Massie Fred Quayle Joe Morrissey Ralph Smith Margi Vanderhye Walter Stosch Jill Holtzman Vogel House challengers with primary opponents Senate challengers Chris Stolle (Bouchard) with primary opponents Rex Simmons (Hugo) Tricia Stall (Miller) Steve Heretick (Quayle) Erin Bender, 2008 graduate of Randolph Macon College, was instrumental in determining campaign expenditures.
