D.C. Mayor-elect Vince Gray says he has raised $180,050 for his transition and events surrounding his inauguration.
About $131,000 comes from businesses. The rest comes from individuals, according to a list of donors on his transition Website.
About $105,000 is for the transition and nearly $75,000 is for his inauguration.
Unlike previous administrations, which received up to $175,000 from taxpayers, Gray has refused public money to support his transition team. Councilman Kwame Brown has done the same for his transition to council chairman, but has not yet released contribution data. Brown says he’ll do so when the transition is over.
There are no campaign finance rules governing the donations. Gray has set a self-imposed limit of $50,000 per donor.
