LOS ANGELES (AP) - Mayoral candidate Antonio Villaraigosa has reported raising $652,000 over several weeks for the May runoff election, grabbing an early edge against Mayor James Hahn.
Hahn, seeking a second four-year term, trailed his fellow Democrat with about $408,000 in donations over the period, campaign figures from March 9 to April 2 showed.
Villaraigosa and Hahn face off in a May 17 runoff to lead the nation's second-largest city — a repeat of their race four years ago. Each campaign is expected to raise enough money to blanket TV screens with political ads in the closing weeks of the race.
