Follow the Money: See Salient Contributions To Campaigns Of Council Incumbent O'Donnell And Challenger Supernaw

The sums below are for candidate-run campaign activities. Political action committees (PACs, formed by various interest groups) can contribute to a candidate's campaign AND separately spend sums to conduct their own independent activities in support of a candidate. Because independent campaign contributions aren't limited by the LB-voter enacted $350 maximum on contributions to a candidate's campaign in LB's primary and general election cycles, they may eclipse the sums you see below. Councilman Patrick O'Donnell is supported by three major PACs: the LA County Federation of Labor AFL-CIO PAC and the LB Police Officers Ass'n PAC and the LB Firefighters Ass'n PAC. Challenger Daryl Supernaw hasn't received money or support from any PACs. LBReport.com will be reporting independent PAC campaign spending separately.

Salient contributors to Councilman Patrick O'Donnell's campaign included:

Total monetary contributions: April 22-May 30 2012 = $14,096. Year to May 30: $65,465 (includes $10,000 loan)

Salient contributors to challenger Daryl Supernaw's campaign included:

Total monetary contributions: April 22-May 30 2012 = $2,693. Year to May 30: $8,796 (includes $2,000 loan)
