Campaign finance
Reproduced from David Velarde’s own campaign-finance disclosures — a public record. Amounts are the totals stated on each filing, or the itemized schedule where the filing’s own totals are not machine-readable; each row links to the filed document. We add nothing the filing does not state.

The county’s structured data does not carry the itemized schedule for the finance report, so individual contributors and payees are not listed here. The filing itself lists them — follow its source link above.
Totals are the sum of the itemized contribution and expenditure schedules as disclosed. Schedules are itemized only at or above the filing threshold; sub-threshold amounts and the filer’s stated cover-page totals are not part of this structured record, so they are not shown here rather than guessed.
