The campaign of Republican Carly Fiorina’s failed 2010 senate bid is nearly $500,000 in debt two years after the election’s conclusion, the San Francisco Chronicle is reporting.
Among those left awaiting payment is her campaign manager Marty Wilson, who is owed $60,000. Wilson, a seasoned San Diego pol who started out as a campaign aide to then-mayor Pete Wilson, has also worked as a fund-raiser for Arnold Schwarzenegger’s gubernatorial campaigns and on the failed Proposition 93 effort to extend term limits.
More recently Wilson surfaced in his work with JobsPAC, which has worked to promote moderate Democrats over more liberal rivals in Orange County and the Central Valley.
Wilson says he doesn’t intend to waive the fees owed him by the Fiorina campaign, and that “there is a plan in place” to pay off more than two dozen creditors.
“Carly realizes that we're going to have to go out and raise this money, and fully intends to get that process under way,” Wilson says, though no fundraisers have yet been announced and several owed money by the campaign have said there has been little communication about how or when they would be paid.
Fiorina, who spent $5 million of her own money on her campaign, received a $21 million dollar golden parachute when she was fired by Hewlett-Packard in 2005 and reports a net worth with her husband Frank of $30 million to $120 million. She reportedly has no plans to tap her own wealth to pay off her campaign’s debts.
Last July, Fiorina was appointed vice chairwoman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, responsible for recruiting and fundraising for Senate candidates. Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said he looked forward to her counsel after Fiorina endorsed him in March.
