Prince George, B.C.- Dan Rogers spent just under $64 thousand dollars in the municipal election to win the chain of office of Mayor of Prince George. The actual amount was $63,694.14
That is about $14 thousand more than his nearest competitor, Don Zurowski, who spent a little more than $48 thousand (including in kind donations) the end result saw Rogers win the job by just under 3,000 votes.
He has filed the documents which indicate he put in more than $7,000 of his own money making Rogers the largest single contributor to his own campaign.
