Kristin Gaspar raised $41,000 for a job that ostensibly is about potholes and parks.
That's far more than any candidate in Encinitas history. Barth came in second at $25,000. And that doesn't even include outside "independent" expenditures like the hit piece from the allegedly conservative Lincoln Club.
More on who the donors are in the comments here.
The power consortium that has controlled Encinitas since incorporation maintains its grip with the placement of Gaspar on the council. It proves that money does win elections.
