Some reported donors of Richmond campaign say they never contributed money: 'That's pretty baffling'

RICHMOND, Va. -- The campaign for Richmond City Council candidate Tavares Floyd has reported to have raised significantly more money than Floyd's opponents, but some of the donors the Floyd campaign has claimed told CBS 6 they have not made any contributions.

For the past month, Floyd has not responded to CBS 6's questions surrounding his campaign finance reporting and instead sent the news station a legal threat.

Floyd is running for city council in the 6th district, which represents areas in Northside, Downtown, and Manchester. His opponents are incumbent Ellen Robertson, whom Floyd used to work for as a City Hall liaison, and Willie Hilliard.

According to data published by the Virginia Department of Elections, Hilliard's campaign has reported about $17,000 in total campaign contributions, Roberston's campaign has reported about $74,000, and Floyd's campaign has reported just over $140,000 in total contributions.
