Kay Maintains the Largest War Chest

Newcomer Arthur Kay has the largest campaign fund of the eight candidates for San Fernando City Council, reporting $36,720 in contributions received, according to the most recent financial disclosure statements for the upcoming April 12 election.

Kay’s fund--$34,000 of which comes from his own law firm--amounts to about $6 for every registered voter in the city.

Incumbent Doude Wysbeek has the second largest war chest, with $22,899, and newcomer Raul Godinez had the third largest campaign fund, with $9,024. Dan Acuna reported a fund of $4,700, Jose Hernandez $4,044 fund and Joanne Baltierrez $3,035. John Becker had a fund of $0.

Hernandez’s statement was stamped received on Monday, three days past the March 31 deadline. City Clerk Wilma Miller confirmed that the statement was filed late. She said that candidate Ed Guzman had still not submitted his statement by Monday.

The statements cover the period from Feb. 27 to March 26, and include the previous statement, from Jan. 1 to Feb. 26. The final statements, which cover from March 27 to June 30, are due July 31.
