Murray cites high cost of Iowa governor bids
William G. Murray of Ames says he spent upwards of 24000 of his own money in two failed runs for Iowa governor and sacrificed earnings as an Iowa State University economics professor. He spent about 5000 to 6000 on both primary and general elections each time and used savings and borrowing to cover costs. A finance committee handled independent fundraising, with state law limiting candidate spending to less than the job’s annual salary. Murray notes he has since rebuilt his finances to pre campaign levels.
