Playing both sides in the Gilmore/Florez race
I know companies like to give to both Republicans and Democrats, but still, it's a little jarring to see it. The Personal Insurance Federation of California gave $1,000 to Democrat Fran Florez the same day it gave $1,500 to Republican Pete Gilmore. Both are running to succeed Democrat Nicole Parra, who has all-but-officially endorsed Gilmore. The California Nations Indian Gaming Association did the same, giving $1,000 each to Gilmore and Florez on May 8. This money is just a small share compared to the total. Florez has about $189,000, and Gilmore has about $174,000. Source for everything in this post: ElectionTrack. -- James Geluso 1 comments from 1 users

Gilmore can take this one. If a company wants to do things that way, no problem. I'm just glad we can see who is giving, and how much. I do think it's a little silly to be giving to both sides. But, it's just a political move. A little cowardly, but maybe smart.
