SD33 Watch: ...And Mimi Scores Some $$$, Too
Posted by: Jubal | 05/07/2008 5:45 PM
Assemblywoman Mimi Walters pulled in $8,100 in contributions today from a variety of sources.
No union money, though -- that seems to be going in the other direction.

Meme Walters' gonna need every penny of those $$$. We're republicans of Orange County support Harry Sidhu, his courage, commitment and strength.
Funny you should mention the support of OC Republicans. I'd like to respond to your statement and just say it isn't true.
Here are the facts.
I just visited the Secretary of State website and looked at Harry's reports.
Of the 54 donors of Harry's that have maxed out, only 19 (and to be fair I am including Harry's $100,000 loan in the count) are from Orange County. The rest are from LA, NorCal and even NY. So only 35% percent or so.
And of those Orange County donors, only 10 are actually from the 33rd District. So that brings him to a whopping 18.5% from the 33rd District. Your statement is just not true. At least monitarily, which is where I think this whole conversation started.
If anyone would like to check my figures or to go over all of Harry's donors to prove me wrong, the list is available at http://cal-access.sos.ca.gov/Campaign/Committees/Detail.aspx?id=1296045&view=received
FYI - In late filing, he is doing much better with 19.3% coming from the District.
His 33rd District support is overwhelming!
