Nate Beason has a sizable fundraising advantage over Sue McGuire in the race for the District 1 seat on the Nevada County Board of Supervisors.
As of Dec. 31, Beason reported receiving $9,835 to bring the balance of his war chest to about $13,673, according to documents obtained at the Nevada County Registrar of Voters office.
McGuire, over the same period, received $1,940 in monetary and non-monetary contributions to bring the balance of her campaign account to $1,589.
Nancy Garcia, who recently replaced Stan Meckler as the new president of the Nevada County Tea Party Patriots, was McGuire's largest contributor, donating $700, according to the documents.
Beason received $1,000 from two different contributors — the California Department of Forestry Firefighters and Robinson Family Enterprises — representing the largest single contributions in the race.
Ed Scofield, who has yet to submit a formal announcement through the press, has been raising money since last September for another run at the District 2 seat.
“I have submitted financial reports and you can expect an announcement soon,” Scofield said Thursday.
Scofield had amassed $3,115 as of Dec. 31. R. Simi Lyss, Robinson Family Enterprises and John Vandenberg each contributed $500, representing Scofield's largest donations.
No one else has come forward to oppose Scofield at this point, although the formal period for individuals to file an official Declaration of Candidacy form begins on Feb. 13 and ends on March 9, with a five-day extension period for candidates other than the incumbent, if the incumbent does not file.
Ted Owens, the current chairman and representative from District 5, announced in late November that he will not run and will instead accept a position with the Tahoe Forest Health Care System. Truckee Mayor Richard Anderson announced the same day that he would run in Owens' stead, and received Owens' endorsement.
“I will support Richard,” Owens told the Sierra Sun in November. “I think he has been a good council member and a good mayor and his heart is in the right place, and that's what really counts for us up here as a steward, if you will, on the board of supervisors. I think he'll do an outstanding job.”
Anderson has accumulated $3,144 for his campaign account, according to documents obtained from the Nevada County Registrar of Voters Office.
Along with the three supervisor seats, the county will see three races for Superior Court Judge (seats 1,2 and 3 with the incumbents Thomas Anderson, Robert Tamietti and Scott Thompsen, respectively).
Anderson has already filed a Candidate Intention Form and Tamietti was spotted at the Registrar of Voters submitting his paperwork on Thursday.
The primary election will take place on June 5 of this year, with the general election to follow on Nov. 6.
