Early voting has begun in what will be the most expensive gubernatorial race in California's history.

While candidates have raised over $220,000,000, the vast majority of funds are from one billionaire - Tom Steyer - in the form of donations to himself. Another $100,000,000 has been spent by Super PACs largely in support of San Jose Matt Mahan and against Tom Steyer.

State Assemblyman and New York 12 Congressional candidate Alex Bores took the Political Integrity Pledge to:

- Reject corporate PAC $$
- Support a stock trading ban + hold no individual stocks while in office
- Support a lobbying ban for former members of Congress
- Support overturning Citizens United

He is running in a crowded primary to replace retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler.

The Democratic Primary in Pennsylvania's 3rd district will likely be one of the most expensive in the state.

Three candidates are running to replace retiring Rep. Dwight Evans and two have already accepted corporate PAC funds, an unusual move prior to a primary.

Nearly $4,000,000 in Super PAC money has been spent on the race, with the vast majority coming from 314 Action in support of Ala Stanford. A recent investigation from Drop Site News found that in this race, 314 Action is likely acting as a pass-through for AIPAC-related funds.

The primary is Tuesday, May 19th.
