June 30 Report on Campaign Finances for the CA 48th District Race
We will present the funds raised, spent, and on hand for the three main candidates in the primary of the CA 48th district, as filed on June 30, 2018. We also add the donation sources and amounts for the incumbent Dana Rohrabacher. The others have not yet been presented. The data are all from opensecrets.org, of the Center for Responsible Politics. We will try to show the relative size of amounts by throwing out insignificant figures, and rpresent results in millions of dollars! When the figures don’t add up, it is because of a loan. We don’t round up to amounts that weren’t actually raised, we just truncate. Cash is cash on hand.
