October 30, 2018 (El Cajon) – Council Ben Kalasho has raised $10,259.77 for the reporting period ending October 20th, and 100% of that was donated by Kalasho, who lists no other donors to his campaign. By contrast, his opponent, Councilman Gary Kendrick, has raised $23,170 this reporting period. For the campaign to date, Kendrick has raised over $46,000 while Kalasho has received $22,200 total, according to reports filed with the city of El Cajon.
In the most recent reporting period, Kendrick reports donations from 22 different donors. Most striking is a $10,000 donation from Waste Management, which withdrew its financial support of Kalasho’s chamber of commerce after Kalasho failed to recuse himself on a vote on city trash liens in which he had a conflict of interest since Waste Management is the city’s trash hauling service.
Other large donations to Kendrick include hefty funds from developer and real estate interests: $6,000 from San Diego Realty Group Inc., $1,250 from two members of the Dentt family employed by Dentt Properties, a developer, $1,000 from real estate firm Hanken Cono Assad & Co. and $1,000 from San Diego Realty Group. He also received $2,140 from Gregg Hamann, investor, and $1,420 from the J.C.
The El Cajon Police Officers Association gave $1,500 to Kendrick and Citizens for a Better East County donated $1,250.
Contributions from $500 to $750 were made by La Mesa Councilwoman Kristine Alessio and County Assessor/Recorder/Clerk Ernest Dronenberg. There were also several smaller donations of $150 or less from individuals in occupatons ranging from recycler to taxpayers’ rights advocate to the pastor of Foothills Church.

Didn't the Kalashos claim they were indigent?
Good question.
Yes, the Kalashos claimed they are indigent to the court. I trust the attorneys suing him will be sure the judge sees those campaign filings.
DON'T BUY IT !!!
