$3.3 Million Reported in Wilson War Chest : Politics: Feinstein data is expected to reflect lifting of Prop. 73 limits. The alcohol industry raises $5.1 million to fight Prop. 134.

Republican Pete Wilson banked nearly $4.5 million in the three months ending Sept. 30 and had $3.3 million in his campaign accounts heading into the final five weeks of the campaign, according to financial reports released by his campaign Friday.

Democrat Dianne Feinstein, running against Wilson for the governorship, did not release her fund-raising totals Friday evening. Under state law, candidates were required to mail reports by midnight Friday to the secretary of state’s office. The reports detail contributions and spending from July 1 to Sept. 30.

In other reports released by campaigns, alcoholic beverage interests raised a hefty $5.1 million in three months in their effort to defeat Proposition 134, a voter initiative that would raise taxes on beer, wine and liquor.

The effort to defeat Proposition 128, the far-reaching environmental initiative, raised $4.1 million during the same period.

The closing date for the reports came three days after a federal court judge threw out the state’s campaign finance law, which limited annual contributions to candidates to $1,000 from individuals and $5,000 from political committees. Some candidates, including Feinstein, began accepting bulk contributions immediately and the current reporting material will reflect the beginnings of an increased fund-raising pace.

Others intentionally held off accepting large donations until Oct. 1, so the amounts would not be listed in the reports released Friday.

Wilson’s receipts during the three-month period surpassed the $4.3 million he took in during the first six months of the year, for a nine-month total of more than $8.8 million. During the same period, Wilson spent almost $10.6 million. Counting money he had on hand as the year began, he has almost $3.3 million remaining.

Wilson has not yet accepted campaign contributions in excess of the Proposition 73 limits, his campaign manager George Gorton said.

As of June 30, Feinstein had reported contributions of $5.8 million and had $645,344 on hand.

In the initiative battles, the latest collections from alcohol interests bring to $19 million the total raised by the industry since January to battle Proposition 134, which is sponsored by public interest, health and law enforcement groups. Backers of the initiative, meanwhile, reported collections of only $178,959.

The spirits industry donated another $4.1 million to a separate campaign to pass Proposition 126, placed on the ballot by the Legislature at the industry’s request. That measure would increase alcohol taxes, but in smaller amounts.

The campaign against the environmental initiative, Proposition 128, found much of its financial support from chemical companies and other related parties. Among the major contributors were Monsanto, which donated $405,000; Arco and Arco Chemical, which gave $397,500, and Chevron, which donated $395,000.

By contrast, supporters of Proposition 128 said they have collected $1.1 million during the same period, mostly from environmental groups and members of the entertainment industry.

In the state constitutional races, Democrat Kathleen Brown continued her big fund-raising lead over incumbent Republican Treasurer Thomas W. Hayes. Brown ended the reporting period with $1.18 million in the bank, compared $252,768 for Hayes. From July 1 to Sept 30, Brown reported spending $736,000, compared to $256,000 for Hayes.

In the lieutenant governor’s race, incumbent Leo T. McCarthy, a Democrat, continued his wide lead over Republican state Sen. Marian Bergeson of Newport Beach, raising $541,444 to her $339,216. McCarthy had $783,335 cash on hand, while Bergeson had only $190,719 in reserve.

Democratic state attorney general candidate Arlo Smith’s newly filed campaign finance report shows that he had $299,918 cash on hand as of Sept. 30, after raising $565,344. The financial records of his opponent, Republican Dan Lungren, were not available.

In the campaign for secretary of state, Democratic incumbent March Fong Eu and Republican challenger Joan Milke Flores ran neck-and-neck in the race for contributions. Eu collected $240,000, bringing her total for the year to $536,000, while Flores pocketed $244,000, for a yearly total of $507,000.
