(Mar. 11, 2019, 7:15 p.m.) --LBREPORT.com's "Follow the Money" coverage continues below by identifying the entities and individuals who recently conbributed large sums (reportable the next business day) to the political committee to elect LB Councilwoman Lena Gonzalez to the state Senate. The most recent large sums likely reflect a Friday night March 8 fundraiser at Hamburger Mary's in downtown Long Beach that featured LB Mayor Robert Garcia and the district's immediate past state Senator (now CA Insurance Comm'r) Ricardo Lara.

Among those listed as contributing sums on March 8 were Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez (chair of the CA Latino Legislative Caucus), the CA Teachers Ass'n, CA Professional Firefighters Ass'n. and the PACs of multiple organized labor groups,

As separately reported by LBREPORT.com, an independent political committee (self-titled the "Coalition to Restore California's Middle Class, Including Energy Companies Who Produce Gas, Oil, Jobs and Pay Taxes) which has for more than a year amassed a multi-million dollar warchest from major oil companies and related firms) reported spending over a million dollars as of late February 2019 for an independent campaign (separate from Gonzalez's campaign) to elect her to Sacramento office (with the expenditures here.)
