Williams spent about $10,000 for landslide victory

YOUNGSTOWN — The financial race between the two Democratic candidates for Youngstown mayor is similar to the voting results of last month’s primary — a landslide victory for Mayor Jay Williams.

Campaign finance reports show Williams spent close to $10,000. Frank Bellamy, who put up token opposition at best, spent $70.38 on his campaign.

Williams captured 88.3 percent of the vote during the May 5 primary.

Post-primary campaign reports, for the period between April 16 and June 5, had to be filed with county boards of elections by today.

During the post-primary time period, Williams spent $2,754. He spent $6,732 between Jan. 1 and April 15.

His biggest expense on the post-primary report was $566.15 to Craig Gilchrist of Boardman for campaign materials.

Bellamy’s biggest personal expense was $24.38 for paper clips.
