As the date for the 2016 primary election approaches, campaign spending is starting to flow more freely. Here’s the latest:
Earlier this week, the San Jose Silicon Valley Chamber of Commerce ChamberPAC dropped $11,000 on a mailer for San Jose District 6 City Council Candidate Dev Davis, and that was after the Chamber had already spend $9,000 on research, polls and surveys for Ms. Davis.
In addition to the $20,000 the Chamber spent supporting Davis, they dedicated $40,000 for attack mail and $10,000 on research against Sergio Jimenez, a City Council candidate for San Jose District 2.
Using their own personal wealth to fund their campaigns are Pat Waite, Norm Kline, Chris Roth and Steve Brown, each of whom loaned himself an additional $10,000 in the last week.
Full disclosure reports covering the last four months come out tonight. More to follow.
