Over $20,000 of the roughly $117,000+ in contributions are comprised of large contributions made to his 2012 Assembly race (which O'Donnell dropped when Assembly incumbent Bonnie Lowenthal dropped her state Senate bid to seek a final Assembly term) and O'Donnell returned to contributors in late 2012; several of those contributors re-contributed to O'Donnell's 2014 Assembly campaign in the first half of 2013.

The contributors to O'Donnell's 2014 Assembly committee can be viewed in detail at this link.

The details aren't visible on O'Donnell's 2014 campaign filing, but appear under 2012 expenditures on his now-terminated 2012 Assembly committee, which can be viewed here.

LBREPORT.com hasn't completed a precise tally of the recontributed amounts but it appears to exceed $20,000 on our quick tally. FPPC spokesperson Tara Stock told LBRPEPORT.com that the procedure is lawful.

Among the contributors to O'Donnell's campaign were several union groups (including sheet metal workers, pipe trades), the Long Beach Police Officers Ass'n PAC, the Apartment Ass'n CA Southern Cities, Councilman/Vice Mayor Robert Garcia, John Watkins (who was a candidate against O'Donnell in the April 2012 Council election cycle), Harbor Commissioner (and former Vice Mayor/Councilman) Doug Drummond, LB Schoolboard member Felton Williams and former Vice Mayor/Councilwoman Jackie Kell.

O'Donnell filed papers to seek the Assembly seat in the 2012 election cycle (when incumbent Bonnie Lowenthal announced she would seek a state Senate seat.) However, faced with a redrawn heavily Hispanic Senate district pursued by then-Assemblymember Ricardo Lara (D, Huntington Park), Assemblywoman Lowenthal switched her campaign to seek re-election to a final Assembly term, leading O'Donnell to drop his 2012 Assembly bid. With his second Council term expiring in 2012, O'Donnell opted to seek a third four-year term via an April 2012 write-in and, propelled by large independent expenditures from organized labor, prevailed on the ballot against Atherton Corridor neighborhood leader Daryl Supernaw.

O'Donnell's decision to pursue a third Council term drew early fire from the LB JOBS PAC, a political action committee independent of but sharing supporters within the leadership of the LB Area Chamber of Commerce. The LB JOBS PAC, which supported John Watkins in the 2012 Council election cycle, sought to derail O'Donnell's third term Council bid by telling voters that he'd run for Assembly in 2014, requiring a taxpayer-paid special election to fill the remaining two years of his Council term if his Assembly bid succeeds.

The now-public campaign contribution report shows that O'Donnell, who has yet to publicly announce his pursuit of the Assembly seat, has been conducting fundraising for several months. [LBREPORT.com learned of a June 2013 fundraiser and reported it at the time.].

In June 2014, O'Donnell will face-off against fellow-Dem, former Long Beach Councilwoman Tonia Reyes Uranga, Signal Hill Councilman Ed Wilson (a Dem) and Republican John C. Goya. The top two finishers (regardless of party) in June 2014 will proceed to a November 2014 runoff.

Ms. Reyes Uranga's Assembly campaign collected $20,910 in the period Jan 1-June 30, 2013 (LBREPORT.com coverage here). Asked for comment on O'Donnell's sixz figure total, Ms. Reyes Uranga emailed: "Pat raised his money over two years, and I am just getting started. I look forward to a spirited race."

The Wilson and Goya campaigns have until July 31 to file their reports.
