2006 BOE campaign spending revisited
Frankly, its been a slow news period on the SFUSD front. The new superintendent is enjoying a honeymoon period with no signs of discontent on any front. The UESF union has agreed to a contract. The BOE is in a calm period... Not a lot to blog about, quite frankly!
So I decided to reach back to the 2006 BOE election to revisit a post I wrote during the election about BOE candidate funraising. In the two posts I wrote about fundraising, I relied on data compiled on the excellent Transparency in Government Project website. At the time they were keeping data about the BOE campaigns. Now, months later, they are focused on state wide offices and have left the local BOE record keeping to the Campaign Finance Database maintained by the SF Ethics Commission. What follows is the data that I have been able to tease out of their difficult to use search page. I suspect it is massively incomplete. But it is interesting:
Note that there is no data for many candidates, but I doubt any of these candidates raised large sums that went unreported.
The big news in this table are the two committees that are not affliated with specific candidates. The Prop A committee funds dwarf all other BOE candidate spending. I had no idea. $430,350! Wow.
