Sidebottom Outraises Potter in Bid to Become Mayor of Lake Saint Louis
Major contributors to Ralph Sidebottom's committee include Hoisting Engineers Local 513, Joyce Corey and Joseph Snell.
In his bid to become mayor of Lake Saint Louis, Ward 1 Alderman Ralph Sidebottom barely has outraised incumbent Mike Potter in donations.
That's according to campaign finance reports filed with the St. Charles County Election Authority on March 25 and 26. Documents show that Sidebottom's campaign committee raised $1,785 compared to Potter's $1,600.
The gap becomes even wider when considering that Potter donated $1,000 to his own committee. The committee also received a $500 donation from St. Charles County Association of Realtors.
