The 49ers could end up spending nearly $3 million in local elections this year.
After spending $1.5 million this year on local elections, the San Francisco 49ers are filling up their war chest ahead of Election Day, making $1.2 million in contributions in the last week into independent expenditure committees backing Santa Clara and San Jose candidates.
During the primary election, both candidates amassed large sums of money with Mahan the biggest fundraiser, bringing in $799,093.19 in total contributions, and Chavez trailing not too far behind with $748,393.82. The latest campaign finance reports through late-September have yet to be released. Chahal previously told the Mercury News that he hoped there was “no political spending by any entity, including developers and the 49ers,” while Becker called the focus on independent expenditures “disappointing,” emphasizing that he has “not taken a dime” from the team, nor has he asked them for anything.
