This data is from Form 497 filings. Until Form 460’s are recorded, expenses for the campaigns are unknown.
Separate from Guerra and Nguyen’s campaigns, as they did in the primary race, independent expenditures committees are expected to be active in the final phase of the District 10 contest. One informed source claims the California Association of Realtors will continue its campaign against Nguyen in the coming weeks.
In other campaign developments, yesterday Guerra received the endorsement of the Sacramento Bee. In their announcement, the Bee acknowledged the strengths of both candidates but said Guerra “boasts a deep understanding of the issues and the policy skills to address them. He’s been effective in accomplishing his goals and serving his constituents on the Sacramento City Council, and he is well-positioned to do the same in the Assembly.”
Both candidates will have launch rallies tomorrow morning at their campaign offices. Details on Guerra’s event can be viewed here, and Nguyen’s here.
