In a departure from his past campaigns, Miguel Pulido is apparently depending entirely on independent groups to run his re-election. But there are questions about whether he’s playing by the rules.
The total amount of independent expenditures in the race for Anaheim City Council is well over $730,000, much more than in 2010.
Santa Ana Councilwoman Michele Martinez violated the city’s
campaign finance limits when her Assembly campaign accepted $500
from a firm shortly after voting to approve its city contract, says
watchdog Shirley Grindle.
Pala Band of Mission Indians spokesman says the tribe will not
make any independent expenditures to her campaign.
California Watch editor overhears Michele Martinez, a candidate
for the 69th Assembly District, talking about planned independent
expenditure campaigns.
All told, deputies union and OCEA have spent more than $1.2 million on sheriff and supervisor races.
