VALLEJO – Former City Councilmember Pippin Dew and Vallejo Surveillance Advisory Board Chair Andrea Sorce have both raised substantial funds to support their campaigns for Vallejo mayor but Dew has raised twice as much as Sorce, primarily through support from businesses, unions and political action committees.

Monroe has reported a total of $4,500 in contributions, including about $2,500 he contributed to his own campaign, and Shankar reported $133 and $2,000 that he loaned to his own campaign.

Dew’s campaign has raised a total of $122,000 since July 2023 as of the most recent campaign finance report on Saturday. Businesses, unions and PACs contributed approximately $50,000 to Dew’s campaign with $71,000 in contributions from individual donors.

Contributions to Sorce’s campaign come almost entirely from individual donors and she has raised $61,000 during the same period.
