HARRIS/Mager-Who's got th#80F18

by Kevin Taylor & r & & r & & lt;span class= & quot;dropcap & quot; & T & lt;/span & his is government at an extremely local level, so the totals here don't approach the millions of dollars raised by senators and members of Congress.





Still, three-term incumbent Phil Harris has raised a healthy $100,870 (up by $10,000 just from last week). That's nowhere near the $170,625 he raised in 2002. Mager, running her first campaign, has raised $53,228 despite competing for funds in a three-way Democratic primary.





Bonnie Mager


Cavalry arrives: The state Democratic Central Committee sent $2,000 in back-to-back donations late last week.


Biggest one-time donor: Anne Buckley Jones, wife of Spokane physician Dr. Greg Jones: $1,000.





People with the last name of Mager: $1,447


Is it bad mojo to accept money from candidates who didn't win their own races? Mager has received donations from:





Donald Barbieri and his son Stephen. Don Barbieri was pounded by Cathy McMorris, R-Spokane, for a seat in Congress in 2004. Total of $1,500.





Bart Haggin and his wife Lindell. Bart Haggin was pounded by former Rep.





George Nethercutt for a seat in Congress in 2002. Lindell Haggin last year was frozen out of a seat on the Spokane County Planning Commission. Total $874.





Lunell Haught and her husband Robert Pyle. Haught was pounded by Harris way back in his first win in 1994. $500.





And Louise Chadez, who was pounded by Harris four years ago. Total $60.


Biggest Surprise: Developers Ron and Julie Wells: $250.





We play both sides: The Liberty Lake development firm, Greenstone gave $750 to Mager ... and $1,000 to Harris.


Mager's total: $53,228
