This morning I visited the Alameda County Registrar of Voters, to get a peek at who's contributing campaign funds to Robert Franklin and Kathy Neal, who are challenging incumbent Roy Nakadegawa for the board of directors' seat in BART District 3.
Franklin is clearly organized labor's candidate. He's received $20,000 from unions. Details to follow in a subsequent post.
Neal received hefty contributions from developers, consultants, and attorneys.
Nakadegawa has received no contributions. In a private email to me yesterday, he said his entire campaign is financed with what's left in his campaign chest from previous campaigns.
What's most interesting to me is that only $500 of the $42,000 contributed to Franklin and Neal's campaign so far comes from within Berkeley, and that's from Elihu Harris, who's more often associated with Oakland.
Full disclosure: I've just endorsed Nakadegawa in this race. I'll explain why in a future post.
