Joe Hogsett may not have made the Indianapolis Star's list of 15 "movers and shakers" to watch this year, but he's gotten the attention of the folks who have everything to gain from having a friendly face in the Indianapolis mayor's office. Hogsett added more than $500,000 to his 2014 campaign receipts for his bid to become Indianapolis' next mayor. Added to the more than $916,000 he reported last month, Hogsett's total receipts now top $1.4 million with more than $1.3 million left in the bank to spend on his campaign as of the start of the year.
The Hogsett campaign went back to the well of its largest campaign contributors to fatten his war chest. His top contributor, Barnes & Thornburg attorney Jeffrey Mallamad upped his previous contribution another $10,000 to $120,000 total given to date. Lobbyists Lacy Johnson and Greg Hahn increased their total contributions to $25,000 and $20,000, respectively. Hogsett's law firm, Bose McKinney & Evans, has now chipped in $35,000 for the cause.
The Lake Co. Democratic Party sent well wishes and a $15,000 contribution. Hoosier Trust invested $20,000 with Hogsett. Jason Hesler sent $10,000. Former Mayor Bart Peterson found $5,000 to spare, while attorney Irwin Levin and Joe Smith, Jr. chipped in over $10,500 each. Ed Jolliffe spared $8,000, while Keith Lochmueller was among a number of new contributors kicking in $5,000 a piece. The vast majority of the contributions came from attorneys, lobbyists, contractors and consultants with business before the City.
