By Allen Payton
More large contribution reports, known as 496 and 497 reports, have been received by the Antioch City Clerk’s Office since the last filing reports were due. A 496 report is required of an organization spending money on behalf of or against a candidate or ballot measure. A 497 report is required from a campaign for contributions of $1,000 or more. Both reports are due within 24 hours after the expenditure is made or the contribution is received.
The only 496 filed since the last reporting period ended on September 24th, was from the Realtor’s Political Action Committee (PAC) for $8,859.24 to pay for a mailer in support of Mayor Pro Tem Lori Ogorchock. She is both a Realtor and sits on the Board of Directors of the Delta Association of Realtors.
Among the 497’s received in the race for Mayor of Antioch, a total of $6,330 was received by Dr. Sean Wright, including $2,500 from the Associated Builders and Contractors of Northern California Chapter PAC, another $1,830 from Antioch attorney Matthew Hart, bringing his total contributions to the campaign to $2,310 for the year; $1,000 each from the Lincoln Club of Northern California and Balfour Properties, LLC of Danville.
