AUBURN — Mayor Jonathan LaBonte is outspending his challengers in the Nov. 3 election, especially rival Peter Letourneau.

According to campaign finance reports filed with the City Clerk’s Office on Friday, LaBonte has collected $14,317 in donations and spent $4,734.

Letourneau has raised $1,750 and spent $1,359.

LaBonte’s cash contributions have come from a variety of sources, including $100 each from Lewiston’s Stavros Mendros, Auburn legislators Eric Brakey and The Firehouse Grill in New Auburn.

LaBonte also listed an in-kind donation from Mac’s Grill on Minot Avenue for hosting a campaign fundraiser.

Letourneau’s donors include former Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Chip Morrison, developer Thomas Platz and members of the Geiger family.

Most of Letourneu’s money was spent on lawn signs and campaign literature.

LaBonte spent money on signs but also purchased newspaper ads and campaign baseball caps. LaBonte also paid $220 to rent a space at the Hilton Garden Inn to host a meeting for residents.
