The Positive Choice team of P. Ward Robinett and James T. Martin spent more than $35,500 more than other candidates in the at-large election.
{REST} But money doesn't always mean a sure win. Incumbent Johnny M. Clemons ranked sixth in spending out of a field of eight, yet he was re-elected with the third highest percentage of the votes.
Leon J. Boone, and incumbents John H. Epperson and Lee E. King spent more than Clemmons, yet couldn't pull enough votes to win a seat on the council.
