As of November 13, the Garcia-operated (Garcia/Doud-named) pro-AAA-DDD committee listed a $10,484 cash balance with $153,589 in debts. The three November corporate contributions can now be used to pay down some of its six figure bills.

Garcia operated the same committee (prior to adding Doud's name) to support City Hall's-desired June 2018 Measure M utility revenue transfer/diversion for the June 2018 election. Two years earlier, Garcia gave it a different name (listing former Mayors O'Neill and Foster with Garcia) urging voters to support the City Hall-sought Measure A sales tax increase. The committee listed sums spent/expenses incurred of $265,263 from July 1 through November 6, 2018, some of which may also stem from the Measure M campaign preceding the AAA-DDD campaign.

Mayor Garcia unveiled five proposed Charter Amendments in a June 12 agendized item; the Council voted to put four of them on the ballot on August 7.
