…Loretta Sanchez, worked hard amidst the ritz and flash to shake the campaign money tree. The result?: $242,295.74 for April-May-June, 2009…

But…what’s more impressive is Assemblyman Van Tran actually out-raised the incumbent during the same period, posting $253,821 during the same three-month period — and in Van Tran’s case, his money was raised in just six weeks…

…If I were Sanchez, I’d be worried that after 10 years of crushing underfunded or incompetent Republican opponents, I now faced an GOP state legislator with a successful record of political organizing and winning elections who was able to raise more money in a shorter amount of time. Shades of the fates of Bob Dornan and Jerry Patterson.

Loretta’s report summary shows a $700 refund to a political action committee, but it’s omitted from her Schedule B itemized disbursements. Otherwise, Loretta still refuses to join several fellow House Democrats in returning several thousand in donations from a partner in the now defunct-and-under-investigation PMA Group – money donated under false pretenses.
