Framingham Mayor Yvonne Spicer has yet to announce a 2021 reelection bid, but still has a significant balance in her campaign account.
FRAMINGHAM, MA — For the second month in a row, Framingham Mayor Yvonne Spicer's campaign fundraising has been relatively flat, according to new filings.
In March, Spicer took in $625 from three donors. The biggest donation in March came from Linda Champion, an attorney and realtor who ran for the Suffolk County District Attorney seat in 2018.
In February, Spicer raised $0, but took in about $13,000 between December and January, boosting her reelection account to more than $30,000. Spicer also hasn't been spending any money. Her campaign has spent under $1,000 over the last four months, mostly on monthly charges for tech services.
