In a new campaign filing, Salud Carbajal reports raising $405,000 in the latest three-month period of the election cycle, bringing his total contributions to over $1 million in the competitive campaign for Santa Barbara’s 24th District congressional seat.
Demonstrating his continued dominance in the crucial, pre-election race for cash in the contest to replace retiring Rep. Lois Capps, Democrat and County Supervisor Carbajal now has netted more than $800,000, including the $620,000 he raised in the previous quarter and after expenses.
Political professionals consider net cash-on-hand as the key number in fundraising reports.
