DescriptionRepublican state Insurance Commissioner and gubernatorial candidate Steve Poizner heads into the 2010 election year with $17.5 million in cash on hand and has raised $1.2 million in the campaign reporting period that ended Dec. 31, the campaign said Monday.
Poizner, who donated $15 million to his campaign last month, is the first candidate for governor to release details of his campaign finance data for the end of 2009.
