Nathan Hochman, the former federal prosecutor and Assistant U.S. Attorney General running for Los Angeles County District Attorney, announced last week that he has raised more than $2 million – a new record – for the Nov. 5 general election.
“I am thankful to the thousands of supporters of my campaign who have made contributions – from $10 to the maximum $1,500 – who love Los Angeles and know this county cannot tolerate four more years with George Gascon as D.A.,” Hochman said. “These donations will be used to spread the word that we Angelenos do not have to tolerate the rise in crime, the smash-and-grabs, the residential burglaries, the armed robberies, the street take-overs, the rampant lawlessness that has poisoned this county under Gascon’s watch.”
According to campaign finance disclosures showed that Hochman had built a 10-1 fundraising lead over Gascon as of June 30. Since that time, Hochman has raised more than $400,000 in additional contributions – setting a record for fundraising in a Los Angeles County D.A. race.
Combined with his March primary contributions, Hochman has now raised more than $4 million in his effort to defeat unpopular incumbent George Gascon and restore public safety in Los Angeles County.
“We are in a very good position, but the race is not over,” Hochman said. “I tell my team every day to pretend that we’re 25 points down and work hard every day to reach more voters with our message of hope for a new and safer Los Angeles County.”
