Stew Young, now on his 20th year and seventh term as LangfordB次元官网网址檚 mayor, didnB次元官网网址檛 accept any donations or spend any money on advertising or flyers, according to his election expenses report released this week.

YoungB次元官网网址檚 frugal opponent Chris Johnson also didnB次元官网网址檛 spend any money on his low-key campaign.

The top spender of the four West Shore election races was Shari Lukens, who shelled out $14,000 and raised $17,000 ($8,500 of her own money), and successfully earned a seat at Colwood council. Colwood Mayor Carol Hamilton spent nearly $3,700 less than her main rival, former councillor Brian Tucknott.

Candidates such as Colwood councillor Gordie Logan and failed View Royal mayoral candidate Andrew Britton found financial backing from labour unions.
