Torrance Campaign Candidate Finances in Detail

Today Torrance 2008 checked the records at the Torrance City Clerks Office of all the candidates running for Torrance city council that we are tracking. We are glad to say that no candidate has funds in their campaign that exceed 25% of their money coming from outside of Torrance. Torrance 2008 wishes that all candidates would take a pledge to accept a maximum of only 10% of all their campaign contributions from outside the city. Although ideally all contributions should come from Torrance residents, Torrance 2008 understands that friends and family play vital parts in the candidates campaigns. All Torrance candidates that have 10% or less of their funds from outside the city will receive a Torrance 2008 Campaign Finance Honor Award in commending them for running a strictly local Torrance money campaign. Torrance 2008 does not accuse any candidate who has received more than 10% of their money from outside of the city of any wrong doing, illegal activity or misconduct. Torrance 2008 repeats it fundamental concept that this election will be decided on how well individual candidates resonate with Torrance residents not how much money they raise.
