With the primary election less than a month away, money has been pouring into the competitive race to replace Phil Serna on the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors.<\/p>\n
Longtime Sacramento City Council member Eric Guerra has so far outraised political newcomer Flojaune Cofer, who is considered farther to the political left and narrowly lost the Sacramento mayoral race in 2024.<\/p>\n
As of April 18, the most recent state filing deadline, Cofer\u2019s campaign had raised $123,207, while Guerra\u2019s had raised $182,562, according to state campaign finance documents filed with Sacramento County. That total does not include contributions to two independent expenditure committees established to support Guerra, which are subject to higher contribution limits.<\/p>\n
Cofer, who won the endorsement of the Sacramento Central Labor Council, has received mostly small donations, along with large contributions from two unions SEIU 1021, and the California Association of Professional Scientists \u2014Guerra has also received union support, including donations from public safety unions \u2014 The Sacramento County Deputies Association, the Sacramento County Probation Association PAC, the California Statewide Law Enforcement PAC, and Sacramento Area Firefighters Local 522. He has also received contributions the California Apartment Association and the Sacramento Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n
If either candidate receives more than 50% of the vote on June 2, that candidate will win the seat outright and avoid a runoff in the general election.<\/p>\n
Serna has represented the district on the Board of Supervisors for about 15 years. The district includes Sacramento\u2019s downtown and midtown core and stretches from North Natomas to Tahoe Park.<\/p>\n
Deborah Ortiz, a former state lawmaker who is also running for the seat, had raised $56,643 as of April 18.<\/p>\n
