Wake County school board candidate Cynthia Matson is still at a serious fundraising disadvantage in the District 5 race.
Matson's latest campaign finance report, filed Friday, shows she had raised $8,517.10 as of Sept. 26 with $2,132.38 on hand. Jim Martin had already raised more than $26,000 through the end of August.
The biggest donor in the new report was the $500 from the Northern Wake Republican Club. She also got donations from Raleigh City Council candidate Brian Tinga's campaign committee, the Western Wake Republican Club, Wake County school board member John Tedesco and Wake County Commissioner Tony Gurley.
Bob Luddy's earlier $4,000 donation covers close to half of her campaign war chest. Click here for Matson's latest report.

Cynthia Matson is a class
Sun, 10/02/2011 - 17:52 — woodstockCynthia Matson is a class act. She is extremely knowledgeable on the issues, passionate, and very articulate. She stands in stark contrast to -- and towers above -- Jim Martin who is a very mean-spirited and arrogant know-it-all.
Yeah, but none of that matters
Sun, 10/02/2011 - 20:10 — FSandYOUWake voters don't want to move forward, they want to continue arguing over assignment for eternity. I say let them. They deserve every moment of grief that they bring on themselves and the other 92% that has no clue what they're even talking about.
Appears there is no confidence in Matson's bid for board...
Sun, 10/02/2011 - 15:26 — paulastamPerhaps it's fair to think, or claim, that Pope and others have decided Matson does not have a decent chance against Martin so they have not bothered to pour substantial money into funding her campaign. Interesting to note that Mr. Tedesco (our Tea Party rally speaker) is trying to bail her out with some spare change...
