The year-end statements for the Cabrillo Unified School District election campaigns reveal more connections among the members of current board, and the outgoing board as well.
The Gardner campaign still owes board member Jolanda Schreurs $1,813 from loans she made in August or September ($2,161 in loans, less a $348 reimbursement). According to Gardner campaign Treasurer Susan Stuart, the campaign is still trying to raise money to pay off the debt. Gardner also received $100 from outgoing board member Ruth Palmer on December 30. Gardner’s largest post-election contribution was another $519.62 from the Committee to Elect Jim Larimer on November 13, bringing the Larimer committee’s total contribution to $1,519.62. According to Stuart, this odd amount is the result of Larimer’s committee turning over all its remaining funds to the Gardner campaign. Larimer is a director of the County Coastside Water District. Gardner also received a $250 contribution from the Republican Party of California on November 9, one week after the election.
The Moseley campaign’s only significant contribution after the election was $1,500 from outgoing CUSD board president Ken Jones. This was received on December 10, the day after Moseley’s first meeting as a member of the CUSD board. This payment matches a $1,500 contribution made by Jones to the Gardner campaign on October 5.
The campaign statements also reveal how much it costs to run for a seat on the CUSD board. Gardner spent a total of $11,246 and Moseley spent $9,536.

Odd timing on that $1500. After the first meeting.
