The Nov. 3 election is fast approaching, and the latest campaign finance reports for the council district races have been published.

The recent filing period covers Feb. 27 to June 30.

Here’s where each of the candidates for districts 2, 6 and 8 stand.

District 2

In District 2, which includes the Queen Mary, Alamitos Beach and parts of the Downtown Waterfront, Robert Fox and Cindy Allen are heading to a runoff in November after Allen finished just behind Fox in the March 3 primary.

Allen’s campaign has largely benefited from the support of elected officials and local labor unions, many of whom previously supported current 2nd District Councilwoman Jeannine Pearce before she announced her plans not to run for a second term.

For the current filing period, Allen, a retired Long Beach police officer and businesswoman, reported $24,757 in cash on hand. She has raised $41,219 in contributions from supporters including the LB Firefighter Ass’n, Robert Garcia for Lt Governor 2026 Committee, Councilwoman Suzie Price, Assemblyman Patrick O’Donnell and several local businesses and labor unions. For the calendar year, her campaign has raised a total of more than $66,000.

Fox, a businessman and landlord who owns properties in Long Beach and Hawaii, has run a largely grassroots campaign. He reported $21,504 in cash on hand for this filing period and $22,597 in contributions. His campaign this year has raised a total of more than $37,000 in contributions, including a $10,000 loan to himself.

His donors include mostly individuals, such as former Long Beach City Councilwoman Rae Gabelich and local realtor Dick Gaylord.

District 6

In Central Long Beach’s 6th District, challenger Suely Saro has raised $26,262 while incumbent Dee Andrews raised $33,475 during the most recent filing period.

Saro managed to head to the runoff following the March primary election where she was the top vote-getter in a crowded field of six candidates. Saro took 45% of the votes while Andrews came in a distant second with 29%.

Saro’s listed contributors include local unions representing trade jobs as well as public and service employees, the Democratic Women’s Study Club, the Los Angeles League of Conservation Voters, Councilman Roberto Uranga, the “Lena Gonzalez for Senate 2020” campaign account and multiple local individuals.

Andrews’ contributors include the political action committees representing Long Beach firefighters and police officers as well as the hospitality industry, councilmembers Suzie Price and Daryl Supernaw, Assemblyman Patrick O’Donnell and the campaign accounts for Long Beach City College Board Trustee Sunny Zia, Mayor Robert Garcia and Assemblyman Mike Gipson.

A political action committee supporting both Andrews and Councilman Al Austin has also raised $38,150, with contributions from the California Real Estate Political Action Committee ($30,000) and Long Beach Yellow Cab Cooperative ($4,900).

Saro currently has $23,399 cash on hand while Andrews has $40,558.72.

In the 8th Council District, which includes parts of North Long Beach and Bixby Knolls, incumbent Al Austin raised $42,065.82, while challenger Tunua Thrash-Ntuk raised almost double with $79,584.74.

Thrash-Ntuk, who finished first in the three-person March primary, currently has $72,542.43 cash on hand and Austin has $33,081.96.

Thrash-Ntuk’s campaign received financial support from State Sen. Lena Gonzalez and councilmen Roberto Uranga and Rex Richardson. She also received campaign donations from the committee for Vivian Malauulu for LBCCD Trustee 2012. She is backed by labor unions such as the SEIU United Healthcare Workers West PAC and UNITE HERE Local 11.

Austin’s campaign efforts garnered the support from Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia as well as councilmembers Suzie Price, Dee Andrews and Daryl Supernaw.

He is backed by the IAFF Local 372 Long Beach Firefighters union and the Long Beach Police Officers Association.

A political action committee supporting Austin and Andrews also received a $30,000 boost from the California Real Estate Political Action Committee.

Thrash-Ntuk’s election efforts are supported by a PAC called the Committee on Behalf of Working Families PAC, which collected a $7,000 independent expenditure donation from the California Independent Petroleum Association.
