Hello,

I am looking for data related to election-related expenditures in California. Specifically, I would like to find out how much money was spent promoting ballot propositions in CA and compare that to the dollars spent lobbying Sacramento. Preferably for more recent election cycles (2004-2008), but any numbers (or good sources of these data) would be great.

Off-list responses are welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Doug
