Legislature

The campaign to beat a recall attempt against State Sen. Jeff Denham hasn’t decided how it will spend any leftover funds from the election.

Kevin Spillane, a spokesman for the anti-recall effort, said officials will first concentrate on paying off campaign expenses with money from the fund created to beat the recall, Friends of Jeff Denham Against the Recall.

“We’ve got some overhead that’s still being taken care of,” Spillane said. He expected all outstanding debts to be resolved in about a month.

State Sen. Jeff DenhamA campaign fund created to defeat the recall of California state Sen. Jeff Denham (R-Atwater) remains open and collecting donations nearly two weeks after the recall failed.

Within the last week, the fund Friends of Jeff Denham Against the Recall has received thousands in additional donations after the June 3 election, including $15,000 last Thursday from the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians and $5,000 each last Thursday from three groups.
