Jacobs versus Gomez: all about family valuations
$90,899 pours in from donors named Jacobs
Georgette Gomez didn't start collecting her campaign money until September 14.
Members of the wealthy Jacobs family, heirs to the Qualcomm fortune created by billionaire patriarch Irwin Jacobs, are chipping in big for the 53rd District House race of his granddaughter Sara, fresh filings with the Federal Election Commission show.
Sara Jacobs' campaign take for the reporting period added up to $574,412.
During September a total of $90,899 flowed into the campaign from donors bearing the Jacobs family name, per filings including the maximum $5600 each from Irwin, wife Joan, their sons Gary, Harlan, Jeff and Paul, as well as a raft of spouses and grandchildren, and Sara herself with $1899.27.
Horse racing maven and WebMD bigwig Martin Wygod and wife Pamela of Rancho Santa Fe showed well, as did Michael Kotick, an ex-candidate for the House as a Democrat from Orange County and director of "brand marketing and product innovation" of the Chipotle restaurant chain.
The list of high-dollar Jacobs campaign givers at $2500 and above also includes once-imprisoned plaintiffs' lawyer Bill Lerach, his current wife Michelle, and Lerach's ex-wife, Star Soltan, along with Los Angeles talent agent Joe Vance, Chicago tech executive Jessica Yagan, JP Morgan investment advisor Phyllis Tabachnick, also of Chicago, Dianne Moores, second wife of Padres ex-owner John Moores, and Moores himself. In all, the couple kicked in a total of $11,200.
Daniella Spiegel, marketing manager for the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, contributed $2500, and Stephen Schutz of Spa Studios, Inc., in Boulder Colorado, gave $5600, as did Susan Schutz at the same address.
On the local scene, Qualcomm executive vice president Donald Rosenberg came up with $2800, and Conner Jacobs, listed as a Qualcomm marketing coordinator, gave $5600.
Although she has vowed to reject contributions from corporate political action committees, the Jacobs disclosure says the campaign accepted $1000 from New Energy PAC of Dublin, California, which OpenSecrets.org identifies as the so-called leadership PAC of House Democrat Erick Swalwell.
The Jacobs campaign's take for the reporting period added up to $574,412, according to the federal data, outdistancing the fundraising of prime Jacobs foe, San Diego city councilwoman Georgette Gomez, who raked in $327,814.
Jacobs was faster than Gomez on the fundraising trigger following the surprise September 3 announcement by incumbent and Jacobs family favorite Democrat Susan Davis that she was retiring from the House, throwing the seat up for grabs.
Just two days later, on September 5, the candidate rolled $6523 of leftover cash from her failed 2018 in the 49th District into her new committee, and gave $547 herself, records show.
Forty-eight hours after that, the first individual donor, self-employed Los Angeles investor and wealthy Hillary Clinton backer Elizabeth Naftali, threw in $5600, followed by the September 8 contributions of $5600 from Jacobs's father Gary and $11,200 from Democratic contribution aggregator Act Blue.
Gomez, on the other hand, didn't start collecting her campaign money until September 14, picking up $16,500 from Act Blue, along with $11,200 from Carol and Martin Wilson of Rancho Santa Fe, for a total take of $33,000 that day.
Major donations have since included $10,000 from the hotel workers union Unite Here TIP Campaign Committee. Equality PAC, supporting gay candidates, gave $5000, and the CHC Bold PAC of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus provided $2500.
San Diego City Hall lobbyist and ex-GOP aide Phil Rath came up with $500. Ashok Israni, CEO of Pacific Companies, another major development player, gave $1500. Influence peddler Marcela Escobar-Eck, gave $600.
Jeff and Karen Silberman, heirs to the Ratner family fortune, owner of key downtown East Village real estate holdings, came up with a total of $5600.
James Silverwood, president and CEO of homeless housing developer Affirmed Housing gave $1000 on September 30, and Jennifer Lesar, head of Lesar Development Consultants as well as the wife of Democratic state Senate Pro-Tem Toni Atkins, came up with the same. Both concerns are widely perceived to be beneficiaries of Gomez's public housing agenda.
In April, Gomez joined a 6-3 council majority to halt the controversial sale to Israni’s Pacifica Companies of the city-owned land under 44-year-old Skateworld in Linda Vista.
The vote changed the status of the property from “liquidation” to “future development," leaving the parcel in play for the future, according to a Union-Tribune account.
