In mayor’s race, Plunkett raises $13,710 vs. $2,543 for Haddix

Peachtree City mayoral candidate Cyndi Plunkett may have come in a thousand votes short of challenger Don Haddix in the Nov. 3 balloting, but she is beating Haddix by more than 5 to 1 in campaign fund-raising, according to campaign disclosure forms filed with the city.

Meanwhile, Post 3 hopeful Kim Learnard has bagged more than $5,000 to date while her challenger Bob Walsh is self-funded, as are both Post 1 candidates: Beth Pullias and Eric Imker.
