"content": "\u003cp>If you think $226.5 million, the amount of combined spending in 2014 on statewide candidate races and ballot measure campaigns, is a lot of money, consider this: It was kind of a quiet year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, you ain't seen nothing yet. But more on that in a moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The total comes from hundreds of pages of campaign reports filed over the course of the last few hours and days. It represents both the expenditures made by candidates pursuing eight statewide offices on the Nov. 4 ballot ($35.5 million) and by the committees formed to support or oppose the two statewide ballot measures in June and the eight statewide measures in November... plus a few other expenses related to statewide efforts ($173.3 million).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It does not include the millions of dollars spent on races for the California Legislature or for state seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. And a caveat: It may still not include a few dollars here or there spent by several small and quiet groups to influence statewide races in 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The big dogs in California's most recent election cycle were the two health care initiatives on the fall ballot: Proposition 45, a proposed change in health insurance regulation; and Proposition 46, a smorgasbord of everything from doctor drug testing to a looser cap on cash awards in malpractice lawsuits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Combined, spending on those two initiatives accounted for $127 million, about 56 cents of every dollar in the statewide campaign total.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The numbers, when added all together, are impressive for two elections which both made history for how few voters actually cast ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They are also hard to digest in the aggregate. Some campaigns were big and full of cash for television ads, mailers and campaign consultants. Some, though, were pretty small as statewide efforts go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, let's sample some of the more interesting morsels of information gleaned from the new filings:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Gov. Jerry Brown may have received a lot of press attention for being frugal in his campaign spending, but the real award goes to state Treasurer John Chiang. The Democrat who successfully navigated the transition from two terms as state controller into winning the job of state banker spent a paltry $24,293 in all of 2014. Divide that by the number of votes Chiang received in both the June and November elections, and you find that the state's top money man spent \u003cem>less than four-tenths of a penny per vote\u003c/em>. Frugal, indeed!\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>On the other hand, the most surprising spending ... at least until you think about what was really going on ... was that of Attorney General Kamala Harris. The Democratic incumbent faced a never-heard-of GOP opponent, Ron Gold, and handily won a second term. But she sure did spend a lot of money relative to her fellow incumbent officeholders who were similarly unchallenged: $3.66 million. What did she spend most of it on? TV ads and political consultants. What was she doing? \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/politics/la-me-pol-california-politics-20150201-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">Probably boosting her name ID for -- well -- a race like the one she's now running\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>One of the biggest dramas of 2014 played out during the early summer, when Democrats Betty Yee and John Pérez were locked in a close battle for second place in the race for state controller, eventually won by Yee. Final records show that Pérez spent almost $3.1 million in his losing effort -- while Yee, who won in November, and GOP challenger Ashley Swearengin spent a combined $3.2 million in the fall contest.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Some of the biggest winners in the world of political consulting in 2014 were the partners of a San Francisco-based Democratic firm, \u003ca href=\"http://www.scnstrategies.com/\" target=\"_blank\">SCN Strategies\u003c/a>: Ace Smith, Sean Clegg and Dan Newman. Their firm represents three of the biggest names in Democratic politics -- Brown, Harris and Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom -- and thus profited from advising those politicos. But SCN also received a little something from the ballot measure committee formed by the governor to pass Prop. 1 and Prop. 2: a $25,000 \"win fee\" paid in mid-December. When you consider that members of \u003ca href=\"http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/2/1/7960991/2015-super-bowl-xlix-winner-shares-seahawks-patriots\" target=\"_blank\">the winning New England Patriots received a little something extra for their big victory\u003c/a>, too, maybe it's not so surprising to do the same for top hired political guns.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Say what you will about the governor's famous dog, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/SutterBrown\" target=\"_blank\">Sutter\u003c/a>, but the Welsh corgi knows a thing or two about travel. Tucked away in the campaign report of the political action committee formed by the California Chamber of Commerce to boost Brown's ballot measures was an unusual expense: $3,504.24 for the \"Bark The Vote\" campaign trip. Not familiar with that one? That was Sutter, accompanied by Democratic campaign aides, \u003ca href=\"http://www.smcdems.org/bark2014\" target=\"_blank\">barnstorming the state to pose for photos and spark some PR for Prop. 1 and Prop 2\u003c/a>. The money was spent on a Hertz rental car and for lodging at several hotels, including more than $1300 for Democratic officials at \u003ca href=\"http://www.bacararesort.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Santa Barbara's Bacara Resort & Spa\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>As proof that the biggest money is often spent outside of the official committees controlled by candidates -- committees with rather small contribution limits in a state as big as California -- consider the bitter fight in 2014 waged for superintendent of public instruction. Incumbent Tom Torlakson pulled out a 4 percentage point win over challenger Marshall Tuck, but the the campaign reports filed by the two men mask the size of the battle. The two men spent a combined $4.82 million on their race (Tuck slightly more than Torlakson), but the real money was spent by groups who saw the schools chief race as a proxy for everything from debates over teacher tenure to charter schools and more. The pro-Torlakson independent expenditure campaign, largely financed by the California Teachers Association, spent almost $7.7 million. The pro-Tuck independent group, financed by a handful of wealthy self-described education reformers, spent just north of $10 million. Put it all together, and you have a $22.6 million fight over a position that doesn't actually have full control over California's education policy and rules.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Again, this was a relatively quiet election cycle for California. Almost all of the statewide candidate races were a bit on the ho-hum side, and there were only two real barn burners in the world of propositions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As such, expect the 2016 cycle to be more costly... a lot more costly. Take the newly fermenting U.S. Senate race and throw in a big pinch of ballot measure mania -- \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article5122236.html\" target=\"_blank\">plastic bags\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jonathan-greenberg/a-higher-law-crafting-cal_b_6421176.html\" target=\"_blank\">legal pot\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/01/28/poll-shows-californians-willing-to-extend-Prop30-taxes/\" target=\"_blank\">additional taxes\u003c/a>, and who knows what else -- and the numbers from last year may soon seem quite puny.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But more on that in a moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The total comes from hundreds of pages of campaign reports filed over the course of the last few hours and days. It represents both the expenditures made by candidates pursuing eight statewide offices on the Nov. 4 ballot ($35.5 million) and by the committees formed to support or oppose the two statewide ballot measures in June and the eight statewide measures in November... plus a few other expenses related to statewide efforts ($173.3 million).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It does not include the millions of dollars spent on races for the California Legislature or for state seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. And a caveat: It may still not include a few dollars here or there spent by several small and quiet groups to influence statewide races in 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The big dogs in California's most recent election cycle were the two health care initiatives on the fall ballot: Proposition 45, a proposed change in health insurance regulation; and Proposition 46, a smorgasbord of everything from doctor drug testing to a looser cap on cash awards in malpractice lawsuits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Combined, spending on those two initiatives accounted for $127 million, about 56 cents of every dollar in the statewide campaign total.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The numbers, when added all together, are impressive for two elections which both made history for how few voters actually cast ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They are also hard to digest in the aggregate. Some campaigns were big and full of cash for television ads, mailers and campaign consultants. Some, though, were pretty small as statewide efforts go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, let's sample some of the more interesting morsels of information gleaned from the new filings:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Gov. Jerry Brown may have received a lot of press attention for being frugal in his campaign spending, but the real award goes to state Treasurer John Chiang. The Democrat who successfully navigated the transition from two terms as state controller into winning the job of state banker spent a paltry $24,293 in all of 2014. Divide that by the number of votes Chiang received in both the June and November elections, and you find that the state's top money man spent \u003cem>less than four-tenths of a penny per vote\u003c/em>. Frugal, indeed!\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>On the other hand, the most surprising spending ... at least until you think about what was really going on ... was that of Attorney General Kamala Harris. The Democratic incumbent faced a never-heard-of GOP opponent, Ron Gold, and handily won a second term. But she sure did spend a lot of money relative to her fellow incumbent officeholders who were similarly unchallenged: $3.66 million. What did she spend most of it on? TV ads and political consultants. What was she doing? \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/politics/la-me-pol-california-politics-20150201-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">Probably boosting her name ID for -- well -- a race like the one she's now running\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>One of the biggest dramas of 2014 played out during the early summer, when Democrats Betty Yee and John Pérez were locked in a close battle for second place in the race for state controller, eventually won by Yee. Final records show that Pérez spent almost $3.1 million in his losing effort -- while Yee, who won in November, and GOP challenger Ashley Swearengin spent a combined $3.2 million in the fall contest.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Some of the biggest winners in the world of political consulting in 2014 were the partners of a San Francisco-based Democratic firm, \u003ca href=\"http://www.scnstrategies.com/\" target=\"_blank\">SCN Strategies\u003c/a>: Ace Smith, Sean Clegg and Dan Newman. Their firm represents three of the biggest names in Democratic politics -- Brown, Harris and Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom -- and thus profited from advising those politicos. But SCN also received a little something from the ballot measure committee formed by the governor to pass Prop. 1 and Prop. 2: a $25,000 \"win fee\" paid in mid-December. When you consider that members of \u003ca href=\"http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/2/1/7960991/2015-super-bowl-xlix-winner-shares-seahawks-patriots\" target=\"_blank\">the winning New England Patriots received a little something extra for their big victory\u003c/a>, too, maybe it's not so surprising to do the same for top hired political guns.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Say what you will about the governor's famous dog, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/SutterBrown\" target=\"_blank\">Sutter\u003c/a>, but the Welsh corgi knows a thing or two about travel. Tucked away in the campaign report of the political action committee formed by the California Chamber of Commerce to boost Brown's ballot measures was an unusual expense: $3,504.24 for the \"Bark The Vote\" campaign trip. Not familiar with that one? That was Sutter, accompanied by Democratic campaign aides, \u003ca href=\"http://www.smcdems.org/bark2014\" target=\"_blank\">barnstorming the state to pose for photos and spark some PR for Prop. 1 and Prop 2\u003c/a>. The money was spent on a Hertz rental car and for lodging at several hotels, including more than $1300 for Democratic officials at \u003ca href=\"http://www.bacararesort.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Santa Barbara's Bacara Resort & Spa\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>As proof that the biggest money is often spent outside of the official committees controlled by candidates -- committees with rather small contribution limits in a state as big as California -- consider the bitter fight in 2014 waged for superintendent of public instruction. Incumbent Tom Torlakson pulled out a 4 percentage point win over challenger Marshall Tuck, but the the campaign reports filed by the two men mask the size of the battle. The two men spent a combined $4.82 million on their race (Tuck slightly more than Torlakson), but the real money was spent by groups who saw the schools chief race as a proxy for everything from debates over teacher tenure to charter schools and more. The pro-Torlakson independent expenditure campaign, largely financed by the California Teachers Association, spent almost $7.7 million. The pro-Tuck independent group, financed by a handful of wealthy self-described education reformers, spent just north of $10 million. Put it all together, and you have a $22.6 million fight over a position that doesn't actually have full control over California's education policy and rules.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Again, this was a relatively quiet election cycle for California. Almost all of the statewide candidate races were a bit on the ho-hum side, and there were only two real barn burners in the world of propositions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

While 2014 saw a new low -- 25 percent of registered voters -- \u003ca href=\"http://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/sov/2014-primary/pdf/04-historical-voter-reg-primary.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">there hasn't been a June statewide primary that's broken the 50 percent turnout threshold since 1982\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only exception to that trend was when California, desperate for a meaningful role in the presidential races, moved its primary to either February or March (and sometimes split the presidential and state office primaries into separate elections). Twice, in 2000 and again in 2008, these early primaries actually boosted turnout. But it was mounting criticism -- both the cost of these elections and the fact that other states still had more presidential clout -- that doomed the early primary. In 2011, \u003ca href=\"http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2011/07/29/118687/california-will-move-presidential.html\" target=\"_blank\">state lawmakers rewrote the rules and moved everything back to a single primary in June\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of this is a long way of saying that history suggests a strong chance of tepid turnout on June 7, 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The presidential race will almost certainly have wrapped up by then; and even if it hasn't, there might be better odds of a nomination fight between Republicans (\u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/29/mitt-romney-republican-nomination_n_1554534.html\" target=\"_blank\">like in 2012\u003c/a>) rather than Democrats. If that's true, then the June 2016 primary would almost certainly see low Democratic turnout relative to the party's dominance among the ranks of registered voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That leads to another part of the story: Republicans are much more reliable voters in primary elections. As political data guru Mitchell pointed out in an email on Wednesday, the state's 15-point registration gap between Democrats and Republicans \u003cem>shrunk to just 9 points in actual voting\u003c/em> in June 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2016, he thinks, will again \"see larger-than-registration turnout by Republicans.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So either a big field of Democrats vying for the seat being vacated by U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-California) ... or even just two or three heavyweights ... could result in a major dilution of what would already be decreased Democratic dominance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Crossover Voters? Not By Republicans, It Seems\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what about Republican voters? Given that the top-two primary allows anyone to vote for any candidate, might they be tempted to play in the sandbox of a potential Democratic slugfest for the Senate in June 2016?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Probably not, said \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/main/bio.asp?i=378\" target=\"_blank\">Eric McGhee\u003c/a>, who studies voting and election issues at the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Republican voters tend to stick by their party everywhere,\" said McGhee. \"Democratic voters often cross party lines to support Republican candidates, especially in places like the Central Valley.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McGhee's take on the top-two (or \"jungle\") primary, which has only been in play for two election cycles, is that it hasn't shifted the behavior of party loyalists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Party registration predicts outcomes almost as well under the top two as it did under the old primary system,\" said McGhee. \"I'm not saying there aren't voters who take advantage of the top-two system -- just that there aren't enough such voters to change our basic expectations.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, we saw polls showing \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/04/23/poll-jerry-brown-draws-california-republican-votes\" target=\"_blank\">a small but notable number of Republicans in late polling saying they would vote for Gov. Jerry Brown\u003c/a> over GOP challenger Neel Kashkari. There may have also been GOP voting for U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-California) in 2012, when she received more votes in the fall election than did President Barack Obama.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those were races featuring an \u003cem>incumbent\u003c/em> -- not open seats like the 2016 Senate contest, said PPIC's McGhee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There won't be an incumbent on the ballot,\" said McGhee. \"That's a huge difference, and one that makes party-line voting much more likely.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2014: The First Real Test of Top-Two Primary\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Better to look, say observers, at what happened in June 2014 -- the first real test of the top-two primary in statewide elections -- and its impact on two open seats: the races for state controller and secretary of state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the secretary of state's race, 51 percent of the votes were cast for a Democrat but were spread out over four candidates. Republicans received 36 percent of the votes cast -- 8 percentage points higher than their statewide registration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the state controller's race, even more GOP power was exerted: a whopping 46 percent of the votes cast in the race were for one of the two Republicans, \u003cem>18 percentage points above the party's statewide registration\u003c/em>. Democrats split their votes so severely between \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/politics/la-me-pol-controller-election-20140612-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">two well-known candidates\u003c/a> that the second (and unknown) Republican almost toppled both of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Might Primary Elections Permanently Be Small Potatoes?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's also not much out there to suggest that June statewide primaries are going to stop being ho-hum elections anytime soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For starters, the state's major political parties have done a pretty good job of avoiding the kind of public intraparty spats that would generate a lot of intensity the way, say, the 2008 presidential contest did. The California Democratic Party has \u003ca href=\"http://www.cadem.org/admin/miscdocs/files/Post-Primary-Endorsement-Process-Memo-052814.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">an endorsement process\u003c/a> that can help galvanize support behind one Democrat over others (\u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/election/article2598092.html\" target=\"_blank\">Republicans are less likely to endorse one candidate over another\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And already, some Dems are privately hoping there's a way to rally behind either a single candidate -- like the already-running Attorney General Kamala Harris -- or avoid a battle of big names that could include San Francisco billionaire environmentalist Tom Steyer or former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. Even if there's a Democratic cage fight, it's hard to envision GOP voters breaking ranks for one of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there's the fact that June's statewide ballot will be short -- as in, no big ballot measures. Actually, pretty much no ballot measures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Little noticed at the time, but now a big factor in California elections, was the 2011 law signed by Gov. Jerry Brown to move all initiative and referendum fights to fall ballots. Whether \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/capitalnotes/2011/09/09/good-government-or-political-power-play/\" target=\"_blank\">it was good government or a clever political play\u003c/a> is now irrelevant. What it means is that a high-profile ballot measure campaign -- the only thing other than an intense candidate contest that seems to draw out voters -- won't be a way to boost turnout among Democrats or any other political voting bloc.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And finally, it may have been a different era altogether, but consider this: The last time a primary election in California turned out more than two-thirds of registered voters was June 6, 1978.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not familiar with what was on the ballot in that election? Nothing much ... just an initiative to roll back property taxes called Proposition 13.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Barbara Boxer to step aside when her term ends. \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/01/13/kamala-harris-launches-bid-for-united-states-senate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Does Kamala Harris have a geographic advantage in Senate race?\u003c/strong> \u003cem>(The Grizzly Bear Project)\u003c/em>:\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Attorney General Kamala Harris may have a head start in her race for the U.S. Senate, and not just because she announced her candidacy first. Los Angeles County is home to more than 26% of all Californians. But when it comes to running for statewide office, being from Los Angeles may be more of an obstacle than a political advantage. While the people may be in Los Angeles, the largest chunk of the state’s voters – those who actually cast ballots — come from the nine counties in the San Francisco Bay Area. \u003ca href=\"http://www.grizzlybearproject.com/does-harris-have-geographic-advantage-in-race-for-u-s-senate/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Hayes Valley vigil for victims in quadruple murder\u003c/strong> \u003cem>(SF Weekly)\u003c/em>:\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Some 100 people gathered Monday night to march against gun violence from the Western Addition to Page and Laguna streets — the corner where four men were shot dead over the weekend while sitting in a car.

Companies don’t have to observe the holiday, but many do, if only because it seems like the right thing to do. In Silicon Valley, where companies have been taking heat for their incredible lack of diversity, observing the MLK Day holiday seems like a smart move if only for the sake of “optics,” as they say.
