See who spent what to get elected

YOUNGSTOWN

A big financial push by Trumbull County Sheriff Thomas Altiere in the final weeks leading to the March 15 Democratic primary didn’t help him turn back the challenge of Howland Police Chief Paul Monroe.

Campaign finance reports show Altiere raised $27,890 and spent $36,140 between Feb. 25 to April 15, referred to the post-primary filing period. Much of it was raised and spent before the March 15 primary.

Monroe’s campaign received $12,950 and spent $16,322 during the same time period.

Monroe beat Altiere, a six-term incumbent, by more than six percentage points in last month’s Democratic primary.

Between the second half of 2015 until this past Feb. 24, Monroe spent $58,817 compared to $19,651 for Altiere.

Monroe doesn’t have a general-election opponent.

In the only contested primary in Mahoning County, Recorder Noralynn Palermo raised $14,245 to win the Democratic primary over Jim Bertrando of Struthers, who received $10,560 in contributions.
