Congressman Raul Ruiz has raised a whole bunch of money for his reelection campaign.
The Press Enterprise notes that Congressman Ruiz took in $410,000 in donations in third quarter fundraising – bringing his total to $1.28 million for the 2016 election.
While raising a bunch of money in an election is normal – what is odd in this case is, so far, Ruiz does not even have a Republican opponent in the 2016 race. Indio Mayor Lupe Ramos Watson has already ended her campaign and Republican Kirk Wayne Thompson of Indio terminated the campaign committee he began in March.
Maybe, if no one runs, Ruiz can use that money to buy a first class seat or upgrade from that shitty car.
