Kanalakis touts political war chest: $73,000 in cash
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
Sheriff Mike Kanalakis raised $65,834 in his latest campaign statements, which were filed Monday and cover from July 1 to Dec. 31, 2009. Like in his reelection race, Kanalakis’ donations primarily come from ag and business officials, including $500 from business owner Don Chapin, who owns the infamous helicopter that Kanalakis wants to buy.
His donor list reads like a who’s who of Monterey County power circles: Geoffrey Couch, owner of Couch Distributing ($5,000), Bart and Paul Bruno ($1,500 combined), Taylor Farms ($1,000). From outside the county, Charles Schwab, president and CEO of Charles Schwab & Co. kicked down $1,000. The sheriff’s cash stash totals $73,149.
In comparison, Cmdr. Fred Garcia’s war chest is lighter: He raised $9,518 from Oct. 1 to Dec. 31. His donors include sheriff’s Cmdr. Tracy Brown ($500) and Catherine Antle ($250). Garcia’s campaign ended up with $18,294 in cash.
