Morning after: local results

Here is the latest vote count for CD 45, Cal AD 64 and HUSD. About 87 to 90 percent of total precincts have been counted. I assume the only doubt now is the final vote tally. Looks like Congresswoman Bono Mack and Assemblyman Nestande were re-elected.

Joe Wojcik returns to the HUSD board accompanied by fellow HTA endorsees, HORACIO ''ROSS'' VALENZUELA, and Paul Bakkom, who defeated 20 year incumbent Phylis Petri.

AD 64 Campaign Finances

I’m working on a longer story with more details, but here’s the quick summary.

Assemblyman Brian Nestande (R) has a considerable, but not overwhelming money advantage over challenger Jose Medina (D).

Through Sept 30, Nestande had raised $276,000 this year, $67,000 over the summer, and spent $149,000 already. He had $104,000 available for the final month of he campaign.

Medina has raised only $62,500 total, about 40 percent during the summer quarter, and had already used $47,000. He has $21,000 available for the remainder of the campaign, plus the contributions he collects this month.

By the way, if anyone has contact with Mr. Medina, please remind him that the Town Crier has been calling him and his campaign manager for nearly month trying to arrange an interview.

These data were reported on Oct. 5 and Oct 4 respectively.
