As the horse races for the top of the ticket races continue to see-saw every few days – one candidate ahead, then the other – Attorney General candidate Steve Cooley continues to lead Kamala Harris day after day, in every measurable way.
Throughout the summer, Cooley has been racking up public safety endorsement after public safety endorsement – even among labor groups that often traditionally tilt left – a result of Harris’ inescapable record as a soft-on-crime DA in San Francisco.
Then last Saturday, the Field Poll came out showing Cooley with a 4-point lead over Harris among likely voters. This, despite the fact that the Field Poll didn’t test Cooley with his proper ballot designation identifying him as Los Angeles County’s District Attorney – a geographic addition to his ballot designation that will only further help Cooley by cutting into what should be a reliably vote-rich region for Harris.
With Cooley ahead in endorsements and ahead in the polls, the release of updated financial reports showing Cooley with a significant financial advantage only completes the trifecta. In the numbers just released tonight, Cooley shows $1,726,823 Cash on Hand, while Kamala Harris shows $1,300,806 – more than a 30% advantage in Cash on Hand.
An ever-growing list of strong public safety endorsements, a lead in the polls, and a financial advantage going into the closing weeks of the campaign – no matter how you want to look at it, Steve Cooley is winning the race for Attorney General.
