The most expensive race in the Bay Area is also the race with the thinnest margins, where the campaigns spent about $47 per voter that race. But one candidate spent more than twice that per vote.
The final votes from California’s March 5 primary are still being counted, but while the results of some races are still up in the air, it’s becoming clear just how much cash the candidates and independent groups spent per voter — and it’s no small change.The race for California’s open seat in the U.S. Senate was a competitive one, and the total spending works out to nearly $90 million so far, among the four leading candidates and the political action committees .
Garvey’s campaign came out the clear winner for most bang for each buck. His campaign spent less than $1 per vote. But his campaign was the secondary beneficiary of much of Schiff’s spending as well.
Combined, that $8.5 million works out to about $47 per voter in that race, and with Simitian and Low likely to have more expenses with a recount on the horizon those costs will likely inflate further before the top-two start spending for the November general.Evan Low leads Joe Simitian by three votes; few ballots remain uncounted
