Mayor Malik Evans has spent more than $500,000 in his bid for re-election this year, according to the campaign’s latest financial filings.

His two opponents, City Council member Mary Lupien and IT executive Shashi Sinha, have combined spending of just more than $200,000.

Some came dressed as the Statue of Liberty. They chanted and cheered in unison with the honking of passing motorists. The scene was repeated from Irondequoit to Henrietta, and Fairport to Canandaigua. And in towns and cities across New York and the nation.
