District 1 Supervisor Candidates Collect Big Donations

TRI-VALLEY, CA — Voting is underway for the Alameda County Board of Supervisors District 1 seat and campaign contributions are flowing.

Fremont City Councilmember Vinnie Baker, Dublin Mayor David Haubert, Dublin City Councilmember Melissa Hernandez, and District 10 State Senator Bob Wieckowski are the four candidates on the March 3, 2020 Presidential Primary Election ballot vying for the District 1 seat.

Current District 1 Supervisor Scott Haggerty announced earlier this year he will not seek re-election when his current term expires in January 2021. The long-time supervisor has held the post since November 1996 and is serving his sixth (and final) four-year term.

Haubert has received: $10,000 from Concord-based Discovery Builders Inc.; $5,000 from Prince of Peace Enterprises Inc. in Livermore; and $5,000 from Los Angeles-based California Real Estate's political action committee, the East Bay Times reported.

Hernandez has received: $11,500 from the Oakland firefighters union; $10,000 from the Fremont police union; and $10,000 from the Deputy Sheriffs' Association of Alameda County.
