San Jose's District 3 Runoff Campaign Spending Off to a Slow Start
Briefly

The San Jose City Council's District 3 runoff campaign is underway, with candidates Gabby Chavez-Lopez and Anthony Tordillos facing financial challenges compared to the previous election phase. Together, they have reported just over $70,000 in campaign funds, a stark contrast to the nearly $1.2 million spent by leading candidates in the initial campaign. Tordillos leads in fundraising, with $106,995 raised to Chavez-Lopez's $66,960, complicating their respective paths. Both candidates face challenges from a lack of independent spending compared to the previous election, which could impact their visibility and voter engagement during their upcoming appearances.
The runoff campaign for the San Jose City Council's District 3 seat is struggling financially, with candidates Gabby Chavez-Lopez and Anthony Tordillos only raising around $70,000 combined.
Contrasting their initial campaigns where top candidates spent nearly $1.2 million, the current runoff spending reflects a significant decrease, highlighting slow starts for both candidates.
Chavez-Lopez's campaign spent $39,526 early in the runoff but has a considerably limited cash balance compared to Tordillos, who has a raised and more robust cash flow.
The absence of significant spending from independent political action committees reflects a shift in campaign dynamics since their involvement before the April 8 election.
