Who's winning the dash for cash in the mayoral campaign

Candidates for mayor in next spring's election have already raised $9.2 million — including the $1.8 million collected by Austin Beutner before he dropped out. Reports filed on Wednesday show City Councilman Eric Garcetti with a slight lead in both the total money raised so far and in the amount taken in during the latest reporting period, June 30 to Oct. 31. That shows he's in the race right with Controller Wendy Greuel; both benefited from the decision by Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky to stay out.
Stipulated: All of the campaign consultants who offered a take today spun their candidate's numbers favorably.
Here are the relevant numbers at a glance. Go to the City Ethics Commission website and dig around if you hunger for more detail. It's mostly there.

In the early race for city attorney, challenger Mike Feuer is doing the most fundraising work so far. The question is whether incumbent Carmen Trutanich will be able to turn on the money spigot again so soon after being embarrassed in his run this year for district attorney. His people say he's catching up fast.
