Who's spending money to sway voters in California's state Senate District 8 race?
Special interest groups and corporations are spending millions to influence voters in the election on Tuesday, Nov. 8. One of the races they are weighing in on is State Senate District 8, which includes parts of Sacramento and Elk Grove. Sacramento City Council Member Angelique Ashby is up against former California Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones. He noted that a coalition made up of companies, including Chevron, Phillips and Valero, spent $1.2 million a couple of weeks ago to launch a TV campaign supporting Ashby.
