Johnson County Commission chair candidate Ed Peterson, the former Fairway mayor and current District 1 commissioner, released his end-of-the year finance report late last week and shows $25,000 in donations.

Peterson is challenging incumbent Ed Eilert for the chairmanship, with the general election scheduled for November.

A release distributed by the Peterson campaign said the fund came from more than 150 donors.

“I am humbled by the outpouring of support by people who share my vision for a better Johnson County, and the fact that we reached our goal without the help of corporate and political action committee contributions,” Peterson said.

Peterson’s campaign claimed he has at least $5,000 more cash on hand than Eilert. Eilert’s October to November finance report was not available on the Johnson County Elections Office website as of this writing.
