With Democrats attempting to get the far more unelectable perennial GOP candidate Greg Raths into the #CA40 top two, the GOP's Congressional Leadership Fund is dropping $552,950 to nip that in the bud, nuking Raths with $367.6K in negative ads and $185.3K supporting @RepYoungKim.
Hoo-boy.
UPDATE: #CA40 candidate who went on an anti-Semitic rant discovers that Twitter is the land of wolves now, deactivates account.

Three new proposed ballot initiatives for the 2022 election were submitted to the California Attorney General's office this evening, each backed by some heavy hitters.

The first, the 'Water Infrastructure Funding Act', was submitted by agricultural interests and would direct CA to budget 2% of its annual General Fund Revenue to water projects until 5M acre feet of additional supply are available

The second, the 'Repeal the Death Tax Act', is an initiative from the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association that would undo parts of last year's Prop 19

Missed this last night...Newsom recall candidate @CaitlynJenner, currently taking a break from the campaign trail to film a reality show in Australia, raised $737,385 for her gubernatorial campaign, burned through $910.2K, and ended July with $21,568 remaining & $156.4K in debt.
Looks like Caitlyn Jenner's biggest expenditures were to WinRed (a large portion of which went towards campaign merch from Ace Specialties), Jamestown Associates (mainly Facebook ads), Fabrizio Lee & Associates for polling, and to Brad Parscale. ImageImageImageImage
Jenner's team has put more effort into selling campaign merch than towards putting her name in contention to be considered for the CA GOP's endorsement.

Mid-year FEC report shows at least some donors have forgiven the Lincoln Project for the pederasty-enabling and the wholesale grifting in the pursuit of generational wealth transgressions, contributing $4.8M to the scandal-plagued group.
While Lincoln Project brought in $4.8M, the operating expenses of $8.5M suggest there might be an incipient panicked rush for the exits, with everyone involved grabbing everything that isn't nailed down on the way out.
Lincoln Project spent $1.37M on non-political media buys, spent $1.12M on its streaming services, and paid over $964K on legal fees and $610K on communication consulting as it struggled to repair its battered reputation.

The mid-year ScamPAC filings are still coming in, but there's a new and growing problem for money in politics reporters trying to keep tabs on political independent expenditures in House and US Senate races. A quick thread...
Over the last few years, there has been an explosion in the number of charity telemarketing scamPACs soliciting money for causes that pull at the heartstrings.

These groups typically rake in millions from small donors, then plow nearly all of the money they raised back into fundraising, siphoning off most of what remains for themselves and spending little to nothing on political expenditures.
