Reagan campaign spending dominates California primary reports
Governor Ronald Reagan led in campaign spending with about 860 thousand dollars of the 1.2 million raised for the June primary. Spending was mainly tied to the November general election, with 320 thousand dollars of 389 thousand raised for the fight against Democrat James Unruh. Reagan reported 386 thousand dollars left and diverted 120 thousand to oppose Proposition 8, a measure he argued would cause fiscal chaos by shifting welfare and school costs to the state.
