Show me the money!

Early in the campaign season as then-Shreveport city council candidate Bryan Wooley billboards and ads began popping up, the lingering question was “How is he paying for it?” His campaign finance reports, after all, showed he had only spent about $3,000 two weeks before the primary election.

But as later finance reports show, the now-District D city councilman loaned himself more than $38,000 and raised around $13,000 compared to incumbent Cynthia Norton Robertson’s approximate $23,000 in donations and personal loans.
