Although he has yet to make his re-election plans known, longtime north shore District Attorney Walter Reed spent more than $627,000 in money donated to his campaign between 2009 and 2012, campaign finance reports show.
That spending included $123,372 on an event at the Castine Center in Mandeville in September 2012, records on file with the Louisiana Ethics Administration show. During that period, Reed's campaign raised more than $614,000 in donations. He had just over $410,000 on hand at the end of 2008.
