GILROY—Following a push by Councilman Perry Woodward, the Gilroy City Council is set to decide next month to change city law and raise the amounts that can be donated to and spend on election campaigns.
With the deadline to file for candidacy more than two weeks away, some intending to run for Santa Clara County elected offices in the June primary have already reported growing war chests for the upcoming campaign.
The votes are in, and two incumbents on the Board of Directors for the South Santa Clara County Valley Memorial Special District have been reelected following the Nov. 5 election.
Despite having been outspent nearly 4-to-1 and now having to face an incumbent who defeated him by 22 percentage points in the 2010 election, Hollister Republican Rob Bernosky is hoping a pro-education, lower regulation message will resonate with voters in the redrawn 30th Assembly District during the fall election.
