Emerging Narratives
Campaign finance data reveal emerging 2020 campaign narratives.
In SD15, Nora Campos will try again to win a Senate seat. But at the end of 2018, Santa Clara County Supervisor David Cortese very nearly erased Campos's three-year head start on fundraising.
The strength of Republican and Democratic fundraising in SD05 indicate the contest could end up being a swing race.
In SD37, we see that Dave Min, who narrowly lost a spot on the General Election ballot to eventual Congressmember Katie Porter, announced he plans to try unseating Republican incumbent John Moorlach. Min currently trails Moorlach in contributions by a factor of 10, though it is fairly early in the cycle.
