Pooja Sethi, who is challenging Council Member Alison Alter for her District 10 seat in November, reported raising more than $43,000 in contributions and spending less than $9,000 from Jan. 1 through June 30. Alter reported raising $83,588 for her reelection campaign. Sethi has loaned her campaign $5,000 and still had more than $55,000 in the bank, according to her report. Sri Rao Bodappu, CEO of E Solvit, gave Sethi $400, one of her larger contributions. Attorney and urban planner Jeb Boyt, who ran for Council unsuccessfully against Leslie Pool, contributed $100.
