California's attorney general race in 2006 looks to be an interesting one. That's in no small part because Jerry Brown is one of the candidates: Candidates for AG see cash roll in by Cecily Burt Oakland Tribune 08/03/05.
Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown's experience as a fund-raiser did not wane with the new year, despite such distractions as his wedding to longtime companion Anne Gust. Brown added $1,114,222.74 to his war chest during the six months ending June 30, and July 31 campaign finance statements show the candidate has $2,381,533.96 in total cash on hand after expenditures.
His Republican rival, state Sen. Chuck Poochigian of Fresno, has shown he's no slouch in the money department either.
He outpaced Brown with $1,167,162.31 in new contributions. According to records filed with the secretary of state, Poochigian has $2,054,895.27 in cash on hand.
Brown also has an opponent for the Democratic nomination, "Rocky" Delgadillo, Los Angeles city attorney:
He said he was way ahead of Delgadillo in two recent polls and had the advantage of widespread name recognition. He said Delgadillo would have to raise $10 million to $20 million to have a chance of winning the Democratic primary.
"I've been running in the Democratic primary for a quarter of a century," Brown said. "Even in L.A., he's a relative unknown. ... He has to get by me first. This is a very short-term experience for him."
