Numbers don’t match up for NPA trustees campaigns

 

 

The top NPA vote-getters spent far more than they brought in, and nothing indicates how either paid for the shortfall.

Long-time trustee Ken Denike only declared $ 6,600 in contributions, but spent over $ 36,000 on his campaign.

Rookie trustee Sophia Woo claims she spent almost $ 38,000 but only raised $ 6,500.

This isn’t the first time Denike and Woo have found themselves under the microscope.

The pair gained notoriety after being featured in two online videos, appearing to criticize a proposal to bring in an anti-homophobia policy, when the district already has one.
