Independent expenditures have started in races throughout San Diego County. In AD77 the California Republican Assembly spent $15,000 in mail for Anderson, and the local Deputy Sheriff’s Association spent $1,000 to purchase a slate for Dale. In AD78 the local Deputy Sheriff’s Association spent $1,000 to purchase a slate for Horton. In AD74 CAP-MPT spent $17,000 in mail for Garrick.
Side Note: Thank you to fellow blogger Barry Jantz for bringing the AD77 Beecham filing issue to our attention. It is in the process of being corrected right now – but in the interests of full disclosure Barry was correct in that the treasurer reported some of Beecham’s expenditures as independent expenditures so they are listed electronically for the moment in that column.
