Alameda Firefighters Give $10,300 to Rob Bonta

This article has been updated to correct the $10,300 figure from the previous figure reported in error.

New campaign filings show that the Alameda firefighters union made $10,300 in campaign donations to Alameda Councilmember and would-be state assemblyman Rob Bonta during the second six months of 2011.

Mr. Bonta announced last summer that he would run for the assembly seat currently held by Sandre Swanson, who is termed-out.

For the same period, the firefighters union reported that it raised $10,689 in individual, less-than-$100 contributions, meaning that the bulk of money raised was donated to Bonta.

The union also made $500 contributions each to Wilma Chan, Ed Lee and Barbara Lee.
