Bradley: What We Know Now About the Big California Races

What We Know Now About the Big California Races

Exceprt from William Bradley in Huffington Post

"Independent expenditure committees are real. As I wrote last week, the California Working Families independent expenditure (IE) committee on Monday launched a TV ad attacking Whitman for her lifelong record of hardly ever bothering to vote.

Then Working Californians, an independent expenditure committee of several years standing working in alliance with the new California Working Families IE, launched a statewide radio advertising campaign. Working Californians, a labor-backed group, played a significant role in helping elect California state John Chiang in 2006 when he ran against a better-financed Republican opponent.

This is a 60-second positive radio ad on Brown's policies and record which will run in markets around the state for the next four weeks.

Independent expenditure committees are prohibited from coordinating with the campaign they support."
