Judy Blumhorst has surpassed Regina Lackey in campaign contributions with 11 days left until the Manteca City Council Area 2 election.

Blumhorst has raised $41,264 as of Oct. 22. Lackey was at $35,884.

The last reporting period that ended Sept. 21 had  Lackey with $33,133 and  Blumhorst at $23,509.

The third candidate — Gabriel Galletta — has not raised enough donations to trigger the Fair Political Practices Commission’s campaign contribution filing requirement.

It should be noted $20,600 of Blumhorst’s contributions were loans from herself to her council campaign. Such loans are forgiven ultimately unless the committee pays them back.
