Supporters Give $653,000 to Villlaraigosa

It looks like Los Angeles Mayoral Canidate Antonio Villaraigosa is racking up the fund raising money. His run-off campaign fund has raised over $653,000 in the first 3 1/2 weeks after his first-place finish in the March 8th primary. It's reported that Hahn will report that he has raised less money then Villaraigosa, but that his campaign will have enough funds neded to win a second term. This is a repeat of what happend in the 2001 run-off when Villaraigosa raised $1.4 million over the first 5 1/2 weeks compared to Hahn's $1.2 million. Some of Villaraigosa's contributers include singer Don Henley, actresses Susan Clark and Doris Roberts and The Los Angeles League of Conservation Voters (Los Angeles Times, LA Daily News, 4/7).
