Supporters of the Democratic congresswoman have raised more than $1.5 million and are outlining plans to put her on TV.
The Lee PAC’s organizers — consultants Nathan Barankin, Brian Brokaw and Dan Newman — suggest in the donor memo that they need to start introducing Lee to a broader statewide audience immediately. And they outline an ambitious goal for a TV budget.
The big donors to Lee’s PAC have ties to the Oakland congressmember and are well known in California political circles for their roles in helping reshape the state’s criminal justice system. Quinn Delaney, who runs a foundation along with her husband Wayne Jordan, has given $1 million, organizers said. Much of the remainder — $500,000 — was contributed by Patty Quillin, a philanthropist and the wife of Netflix CEO Reed Hastings. The group will report to the FEC by month’s end.
On the campaign side, Schiff’s committee is sitting on nearly $30 million while Porter has just over $10 million. In the Lee PAC memo, the consultants contend that despite her overwhelming financial disadvantage, she doesn’t need to match her opponents dollar for dollar to make top-two in the March runoff and win in November—“but she cannot afford to be outgunned by a 12-to-1 margin.”
