Brown Raises $4.26 million
Oakland Mayor and Democratic AG candidate Jerry Brown announced that he has raised $4.26 million with some $3.66 million cash on hand. This comes of the heels of primary opponent Rocky Delgadillo, city attorney of Los Angeles, announcing that he had raised $3.1 million. In a taste of the spin that will come in the next several days as campaign filing reports trickle in, Brown's campaign wrote: While Delgadillo released total figures on Friday he deliberately omitted the figure for his cash on hand. Considering that Delgadillo has only raised a total of $3.1 million, it is impossible for him to be anywhere near the $3.66 million that the Brown campaign has on hand. Speaking of spinning, the Westly campaign, which released their $24 million raised two weeks before the deadline, is trying to downplay the amount of money that Angelides will announce tommorrow, saying $8.4 million is holdover money from 2002 and that PAC money can't be used in the race for governor. |
