CD 15 Special Election Housekeeping ..........

Blogger Notes: The first major monetary reports are in to the Ethics Commission from the eleven candidates to replace Congresswoman Janice Hahn in CD 15. We will link to the "major four candidates" (as defined by acceptance of matching funds) and some of the perceived lower tier candidates. Also we have an interview tomorrow with one of the top-tier candidates that will be posted on Monday morning. We hope to secure other interviews as the campaign moves through October.
