CALABASAS : School Candidates Disclose Donations

Calabasas resident Charlotte Meyer has loaned herself $6,000 for her campaign for Las Virgenes Unified School District board, giving her the largest war chest in the nine-person race, according to campaign finance reports.

Meyer has so far spent $2,487 of her war chest for the Nov. 2 election on printing costs and political consulting, according to documents filed last Thursday with the Los Angeles County registrar-recorder.

Judy Jordan, who raised the second-highest amount of money for the campaign, has so far raised $2,130, about half in donations of less than $100 each and about half from a personal loan to her campaign.

Jordan spent $379 to print a brochure and invitations to a fund-raiser.

Gary Rafferty, who describes himself as an environmental attorney, has raised $1,018, including $100 of his own money.

He has spent $943, mostly on yard signs.

The other six candidates were not required to declare their funding sources, because each has raised less than $1,000, according to county officials.

Those candidates are: incumbent Barbara Bowman-Fagelson, Westlake Village bank officer Joanna Lofaso, Encino-based public accountant Adrian B. Stern, Westlake Village clinical psychologist Kim B. Barrus, Hidden Hills attorney Robert Mark Freedman and Robert B. Oserin, a retired Agoura Hills insurance executive.
