FRAMINGHAM, MA — For the second month in a row, Framingham Mayor Yvonne Spicer's campaign fundraising has been relatively flat, according to new filings. In March, Spicer took in $625 from three donors. The biggest donation in March came from Linda Champion, an attorney and realtor who ran for the Suffolk County District Attorney seat in 2018. In February, Spicer raised $0, but took in about $13,000 between December and January, boosting her reelection account to more than $30,000. Spicer also hasn't been spending any money. Her campaign has spent under $1,000 over the last four months, mostly on monthly charges for tech services. Spicer, Framingham's first mayor, is up for election in November, but has not formally announced a reelection bid. Her campaign has not responded to requests from Patch about whether she's running for a second term. All but the At-Large members of the Framingham City Council are up for election in 2021. No member of the City Council had a significant fundraising month in March, according to campaign finance filings.
