You are reading it here first, thanks to an intrepid volunteer researcher who gathered the information from the City Clerk's office today. Here is a summary of contributions given to the City Council candidates. The reports were due today. In the summary you will see the list of people who have contributed more than $200 dollars in the course of the campaign, followed by cumulative contributions and expenditures. The numbers below cover the entire campaign, including the pre-primary ethics filing and the pre-general filing. Some candidates have had no large contributions at all. For the individual contributions, I list the amounts followed by the names of contributors who have given those amounts. Details are below; analysis will be in a later entry.
UPDATE: Lists of contributors reformatted for ease of reading.

Larry Self, Republican -- Total contributions: $100.00. Total expenditures: $422.96. (No contributions exceeded $200.)
Tom Baker, Democrat -- Total contributions: $7830.00. Total expenditures: $157.50.
$1,000: Joseph L. Parker;
$500: Oklahoma Manufactured Housing PAC, Joseph M. Westervelt, Eric L. Davis, John F. Conine, Blue Dome Properties L.L.C., Dr. James or Alice Rodgers;

(NOTE on Baker's totals: The report lists cumulative contributions of 28,038.20 and cumulative expenditures of $20,167.39, but it shows $20,208.20 in contributions and $20,159.89 in expenditures from previous report. Now that I have seen Baker's earlier reports, it appears that all prior contributions and all but $157.50 in prior expenditures was from the 2002 campaign but was incorrectly noted on the wrong line on the form. I have adjusted his totals for the 2004 campaign accordingly.)

If you don't see a report for a candidate, it's because they didn't file a report on time for the pre-primary filing or the pre-general filing. It appears that the City Clerk didn't pull late filings from the previous period for my volunteer researcher. UPDATE (2004/03/02): I have added the late primary reports for Todd Huston and Tom Baker, and the late general election report for Randy Sullivan.
I'll put my analysis in a separate entry.
