Duvall's campaign committee still active
Yorba Linda residents might be surprised to learn that former Mayor Mike Duvall’s state Assembly re-election committee is still active, despite his resignation from the legislative body five months ago after a self-described incident of “inappropriate storytelling.”
The “Mike Duvall for Assembly 2010” campaign committee filed a report of income and expenditures with California’s Secretary of State Jan. 28. The filing indicated Duvall has actually increased his cash balance from $66,732 to $74,897 since an August 2009 report.
The latest filing, covering the period July 1 through Dec. 31, 2009, listed contributions of $66,670 and expenditures of $57,945. Total contributions and expenditures for 2009 were $144,665 and $110,165, respectively.
Although Duvall didn’t list any contributions after his Sept. 9 resignation, he did take in $10,200 during his final eight days in office, with the only donation from a Yorba Linda resident—$200—coming from Councilwoman Jan Horton.
Duvall noted spending $30,437 since his resignation, including $21,450 for campaign consultants, $5,247 for fundraising events, $1,368 for office expenses, and $1,085 for travel, lodging and meals, but some expenses probably were incurred before he quit.
Interestingly, Duvall kept his City Council campaign committee active for close to 19 months after his resignation from the Yorba Linda governing body to assume his state Assembly duties in December 2006. He served six years on the council, two as mayor.
Forty-five days before he closed his “Committee to Elect Mike Duvall,” he reported a $5,000 donation from S and S Construction, a major player in developing city housing projects, which he used to pay off part of a loan he made to his committee in 2000.
The $5,000 contribution, personal loan payoff and a gift of $620 to Councilman Jim Winder’s campaign committee were the only activities listed by Duvall’s committee during the period between his council resignation and the committee’s termination.
Republican Chris Norby, who was sworn in to replace Duvall in the Assembly Jan. 29, listed spending $257,733 in 2009 in the race for the westside’s 72nd District seat, which includes 22,097 of Yorba Linda’s 42,862 registered voters.
Most of the money was spent on the Nov. 17 special election, in which Norby beat Linda Ackerman and Richard Faher for the GOP nomination. A full account of his spending for the Jan. 12 runoff with Democrat John MacMurray and Green Jane Rands is due July 31.
Surprisingly, Norby’s 2009 donor list didn’t include anyone from Yorba Linda, although Councilwoman Nancy Rikel made recorded phone calls to voters in the Nov. 17 election. Councilman Mark Schwing supported Ackerman.
Norby already has set up a new committee to handle funds for the June 8 primary, when he’ll be seeking the GOP nomination for a two-year Assembly term on the Nov. 2 ballot.
