The hopefuls Bold Brass disclose finances by Jesse Fruhwirth STAFF WRITER Financial disclosures recently filed by all candidates for the state Senate partially explain why it’s so hard to beat an incumbent. Regardless of party affiliation, incumbents have on hand roughly 10 times as much money as their challengers. All candidates for state offices were required to submit financial information regarding each dona- tion and campaign expenditure as of Friday. Another full disclosure will be required of the candidates seven days prior to the election. All information from the reports is available from the Utah Reporting System at ucrs.state.ut.us. Topping the list of big bank accounts among Tooele County Senators is district-22 Democrat Brent Goodfellow. The incumbent Senator represents Stansbury Park, as well as Magna and West Valley City where he lives. His campaign war chest rests at nearly $40,000. He said a lot has changed since he ran for his first state House seat over 20 years ago. “I remember running my first time. I raised no money and I spent $750 of my own money without raising any. I lost,” he said. “That was 20-some-odd years ago and $750 was a lot of money to me.” Much of Goodfellow’s funds are I simply gotta march, my heart’s a drummer.
