Nonetheless, that hasn't stopped the two candidates from raising what Hoffenblum termed a "respectable" amount of money. Through Jan. 31, state filings show that Romero had raised $370,000, while Gallegos had raised $260,000. Romero's funding has come primarily from teachers' unions and other labor groups, while Gallegos, who was chair of the Assembly Health Committee before he was termed out last November, has received considerable backing from medical groups.

"Everything will depend on who can get their supporters to the polls," Hoffenblum said. |
