Evans tops Council campaign spending -- with no opponent

Longtime Ward 2 Councilman Jack Evans, the lone D.C. Council member who’s running for re-election unopposed, is still outspending everyone else by at least 3 to 1, topping $46,000 over the past two months.

Nearly $45,000 of that spending for the Evans 2012 campaign has come after the filing deadline for new council candidates closed on Jan. 4, according to the Office of Campaign Finance data. In addition, Evans has not had anyone to campaign against since early November when his challenger Fiona Greig dropped out of the race.
