Press Release: She's Got the Money, Honey: Nancy Skinner continues to dominate fundraising in SD9 race
Holds over 12 to 1 Cash on Hand advantage over nearest opponent
Nancy Skinner continues to hold a massive financial advantage over her two Democratic opponents for State Senate in District 9.
In reports filed yesterday, covering the period from 1/1/16 to 4/23/16, Skinner held a more than 12 to 1 cash-on-hand advantage over her closest opponent, Sandre Swanson.
Raised Cash on Hand
Skinner $147,282 $1,016,568
Swanson $107,594 $81,482
Welch $120,175 $43,730
Swanson’s weak position was also undercut by the disclosure that he had $46,894 in outstanding debt, meaning he has less than $35,000 available to spend. Skinner reported $8,837 in debt and Welch had no debt.
With the primary election less than 6 weeks away, Skinner’s financial advantage will allow her to reach far more voters than her oppoents.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Look here to see who's funding Skinner. Donors range from thousands of dollars from major corporations like Pepsico, Bayer and Clorox and major law enforcement unions down to multiple contributions of $25 from someone identified as a nurse practitioner in Alameda.
