iePolitics: Campaign Night Events

Posted on by Administrator

My evening started at Eddie’s Cucina in Rancho Cucamonga.  My friend wanted to meet Eric Estrada, and Heaven knows a heck of a lot of this blog has been dedicated to Paul’ s campaign, so his gathering seemed to be the most logical.  It was attended by about 50 supporters and, of course, Eric Estrada.  I have to admit he doesn’t look much different than he did way back when in CHiPs.

Cheryl had to leave a bit early but I hung around until the 10:30 results.  When those didn’t happen I left.  I called my friend Ted to congratulate him on Janice Rutherford’s second-place win.  He said their party was still going on and invited me over.  He assured me there was no one there I didn’t want to run in to.

By the time I got there it was almost 11:30, so most were gone.  I understand they had about 120 there earlier including Upland Mayor JP Pomierski, Fontana Mayor Mark Nuaimi, Fontana Councilmembers Acquanetta Warren and John Roberts, Upland Councilmembers Ken Willis, Ray Musser, and Tom Thomas, Upland City Treasurer Dan Morgan, former Rancho Cucamonga Mayor Bill Alexander, and Rialto School Board member Joann Gilbert.

A review of campaign finance disclosures filed with the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters this week gives some interesting twists in the race involving Second District Supervisor Paul Biane.

Biane is seeking a third term amongst a field of five challengers. A run-off is all but assured.

For the latest pre-election reporting period covering sixty days, Fontana Councilwoman Janice Rutherford raised $136,196.25, including a late contributions of $10,000.00. Rutherford has remaining cash-on-hand of only $7866.93.

Supervisor Paul Biane raised $101,756.00 for the same period and has remaining cash-on-hand of $188,645.12.

Biane has outspent Rutherford on a ratio of at least 2 to 1 and is retaining significant resources for a most likely November runoff election with Rutherford. A runoff in the same election as match-ups involving Meg Whitman vs Jerry Brown and Carly Fiorina or Tom Campbell vs Barbara Boxer, will be costly for both candidates.

The reason? High turnout.

In the November election, lower propensity voters will turnout in the supervisorial race due to the up-ballot contests, driving up costs for both candidates in reaching out to less-informed voters. Continue reading →
