Jerry Brown

Meanwhile, Clifford, the campaign spokesman, said the communications numbers don’t capture the entire picture. “Over the last four years, Jerry Brown cut $231 million from the budget of the DOJ — its clear he’s managing the people’s money carefully,” Clifford said in an email. “To put it in perspective, if your numbers are correct, the DOJ spends .006 percent of its budget on communications. I’d guess that the Governor’s office is much higher. And Frankly, when the Whitman campaign argues that she has to spend $180 million on this race because of Jerry’s near-universal name-ID, it is (ridiculous) to then turn around and argue that he’s using state resources to boost his name ID.”
