Clark County Commissioner Myrna Williams reported $278,097 in leftover funds, more than any officeholder. Williams said she will use the money in her next campaign or for office expenses.

The reports were due Friday at the secretary of state's office.

Bruce Woodbury, another Clark County commissioner, reported he had $119,694 in leftover funds. Woodbury said he gave $21,829 to nonprofit organizations, spent $22,224 on office expenses and gave $5,850 to the campaigns of others.

Senate Majority Leader Bill Raggio, R-Reno, reported $85,026 in leftover funds, the most for a northern Nevada officeholder. He spent $19,829 on office expenses, political contributions and charitable donations.

Raggio also said he may spend the surplus on his next election campaign - a surprise considering widespread speculation that he would retire from office or not seek re-election in 2000.
