"Follow the Money" Coverage: In State Senate Runoff Large Contribs ($1,000+ And Above) Since April 20, LB Councilwoman Lena Gonzalez's Campaign Received $135,000+ From These Entities/Groups/Individuals; Runoff Candidate Cudahy Councilman Jack Guerrero's Campaign Received $5,000 From Himself
If LBREPORT.com didn't tell you, who would?
No one in LBREPORT.com's ownership, reporting or editorial decision-making has ties to development interests, advocacy groups or other special interests; or is seeking or receiving benefits of City development-related decisions; or holds a City Hall appointive position; or has contributed sums to political campaigns for Long Beach incumbents or challengers. LBREPORT.com isn't part of an out of town corporate cluster and no one its ownership, editorial or publishing decisionmaking has been part of the governing board of any City government body or other entity on whose policies we report.
LBREPORT.com is reader and advertiser supported. Support independent news in LB similar to the way people support NPR and PBS stations. We're not non-profit so it's not tax deductible but $49.95 (less than an annual dollar a week) helps keep us online.
(May 21, 2019, 1:50 p.m.) -- LBREPORT.com continues our detailed "Follow the Money" coverage in the runoff election in which voters in over half of Long Beach plus several S.E. L.A. County cities can choose CA's next state Senator who'll gain the power to vote on proposed Sac'to laws ranging from taxes, spending, land use/housing policies to crime.
With vote-by-mail ballots circulating since May 6 for June 4 "election day" (when absentee and precinct-cast ballots will be counted):
LB Councilwoman Lena Gonzalez's campaign has since April 20 collected $136,541 in large contributions (reportable at $1,000 and above) from various corporate entities, special interests, organized labor groups and individuals listed below.
Cudahy Councilman Jack Guerrero, a Stanford-Harvard degreed CPA, has since April 20 received no large sums (reportable at $1,000 and above) from any individuals, groups or entities other than himself. Mr. Guerrero gave $5,000 personally to his campaign on May 18 [after he loaned his campaign $10,000 personally in April to cover the cost of his candidate statement for the runoff, printed in L.A. County's official election voter pamphlet.]
The sums below reflect only large publicly reported contributions of $1,000 and above; the candidates may have (and likely did) receive smaller sums which the campaigns are due to report in the coming days. (LBREPORT.com has previously reported the two campaigns' contributions received prior to April 20 at this link.)
The state Senate district includes roughly 55% registered Democrats, 28% registered "decline to state" and just under 12% Republicans.
LBREPORT.com was the ONLY LB news outlet to provide extended VIDEO and AUDIO (podcast style) coverage of the only face-to-face encounter between the two candidates (May 6, 2019.)
