Following up on the post<\/a> I just made about the CA-32 fundraising race, it seemed like Judy Chu saved the best for last:<\/p>\n

The breadth and strength of Judy Chu’s campaign for Congress was demonstrated again today as candidates reported their first fundraising numbers for this May 19 special election.<\/p>\n

In the first three months of 2009, Judy Chu collected an impressive $770,167, over $200,000 more than her nearest rival, State Senator Gil Cedillo.<\/p>\n

Judy Chu, Vice-Chair of the California State Board of Equalization, reported a strong $577,609 cash-on-hand figure at the end of the period.<\/p>\n

Chu’s consultant, Parke Skelton, stated, “Judy Chu is well on the way towards surpassing $1 million for this race.  Her fundraising reflects the enthusiastic and broad support she has attracted from throughout the 32nd District.  Just over 83% of her contributions have come from individuals, not PACS.  An impressive 1,567 individuals contributed to Dr. Chu’s campaign in this filing period.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We’ll see how much of a difference that amount of money makes in a low-turnout special.  But those numbers were as of the end of the quarter, with over a month and a half to go in this election.  It’s entirely possible that we’ll have two million-dollar candidates in this race.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
