HESPERIA — Raising $850,000 in just his first year in office, San Bernardino County 1st District Supervisor Brad Mitzelfelt said he has proven he has strong backing from county and High Desert supporters.
Despite having such a large war chest, Mitzelfelt has been particularly careful about how he spends campaign funds.
According to campaign contribution documents, Mitzelfelt still has a $709,000 cash balance.
“I’m very pleased with our fundraising efforts so far, despite the weakened economy,” Mitzelfelt said.
His contributors range from developers and Indian tribes to doctors and local attorneys.
Campaign documents show that Mitzelfelt has also garnered the support of San Bernardino County-based donors, including some of the county’s deputy sheriffs, deputy district attorneys and firefighters.
“This overwhelming showing of financial support puts Supervisor Mitzelfelt in a strong position to beat back any possible challenge,” said William Abernathie, president of Safety Employees Benefit Association.
So far, only Barstow City Councilman Joe Gomez has announced intentions to run against Mitzelfelt this fall.
