DANA POINT : Eggers Leads in Race for Campaign Funds
City Councilman Michael Eggers has raised more than twice as much money as his nearest colleague for the June 5 city election, according to campaign disclosure forms filed last week.
Eggers raised $13,349 in 1989 and shows a total of $18,595 on hand for his upcoming campaign.
City Councilwoman Ingrid McGuire raised $6,612 in 1989. Minus expenditures and non-monetary contributions, however, her campaign shows a total of $5,941 on hand.
Mayor Eileen L. Krause raised $4,985 but spent the entire amount to repay loans made in the previous election. Krause indicated she will kick off her campaign with a fund-raiser March 21.
Eggers largest contributors, who each gave him $350, included developers Barry G. Hon of Hon Development Co., Kathryn Thompson of Monarch Bay and the Kathryn Thompson Co., Kevin Darnall of Pulte Homes, and the Building Industry Assn. of Southern California.
McGuire’s leading contributors included developers Van Stevens of the Mission Viejo Co. and Thompson, who each gave her $400.
The three council members have all indicated they will run for re-election.
Filing for the City Council race opens Monday and closes March 9.
