On May 25, Mike McGill dropped another $30,000 into his campaign for the 67th Assembly District GOP nomination.
McGill has now put $150,000 of his own money into his Assembly campaign.
He's not the only one to sink a significant chunk of personal cash in this race: Dianne Harman has loaned her campaign $100,000 -- although she's ultimately risking less financial exposure than McGill. After all, if she loses, her husband the state Senator-elect can erase that campaign debt. If McGill loses, he doesn't have a fund-raising angel who will make it all go away. After all, one-third of that $150,000 is a contribution -- not a loan -- that he can't pay back.
I tried checking Jim Silva's campaign report online at the Secretary of State, but for some reason they only have his OC Supervisor account there.

That's what I love about McGill - he puts his neck on the line for what he believes in. Can't say that about squishy Silva...

Yeah, he also puts his family on the line.
Come on Art...that has to be the worst post in your blog history.

Mr. Pedroza:
Do you also love Cassie Deyoung for putting her neck on the line for what she believes in(and a lot more neck then McGill)?
