Races for district judge and district attorney have been the most expensive for the Wood County March 3 primary.

The most recent campaign expense and contribution reports are through Feb. 23, which was nine days before the election.

Candidates must file additional reports at mid-year that would include any remaining spending and donations, unless involved in the May 26 runoff, which has a special reporting schedule.

Angela Albers was the top recipient of campaign contributions, with a total of $37,120 for the three reporting periods prior to the primary.

She had one $10,000 donation from Jeremy Parnell of Parker, who is listed as a professional football player.

Albers reported spending $30,509 to win the two-year unexpired term for district attorney.

Her opponent, Jodi Cox, reported $3,600 in contributions and $1,021 in expenses but has not filed the report due Feb. 23.

District Judge Jeff Fletcher reported the most expenses in his reelection bid, $37,695. He received contributions totaling $21,425.

In winning the position, Brad McCampbell’s donations totaled $26,619 with expenses of $27,636.
