Newport Beach finance statements show little

-- June Casagrande

The three Newport Beach City Council members who ran in the last

election filed campaign finance statements last week that showed they

have little money on hand.

Between July 1 and Dec. 31, Councilman Gary Proctor’s campaign

received $22,952 in contributions, a large portion of which was used to

pay off loans that helped finance his campaign.

Neither Steve Bromberg nor John Heffernan collected contributions for

the period.

All three have less than $1,000 on hand.

Pat Beek, who ran against Bromberg, had not filed a statement by

Monday afternoon.

Any council member whose campaign committee is still considered active

is required to file the statements periodically.
