elections and ethics expert Joe Lynn. Lynn explains that scandals
aren't all that will reduce Mayor Gavin Newsom's campaign fundraising
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom's personal revelations will
have an adverse effect on his relationship to his principal campaign

campaign finance laws that limit the overall amount of money
that the Mayor can raise, will mean this year's race for Mayor
might not be the coast to reelection that his campaign had hoped
for.

Editor's Note: Part 1 of a 5 part series by
elections and ethics expert Joe Lynn. Lynn explains that scandals
aren't all that will reduce Mayor Gavin Newsom's campaign fundraising

His haul of over $6 million almost doubled Willie Brown's previous
record. He now has filed his first report for his re-election
campaign covering a four-month fundraising effort in 2006.
This go-around, he has so far raised almost $650,000.
So it looks as though he'll reach that mark again, doesn't it?
