| Description | By writing a $2-million check to his campaign, Chris Kelly, the chief privacy officer of Facebook, has jumped into the crowded race to be California's next chief law enforcement officer.
With incumbent Atty. Gen. Jerry Brown expected to run for governor, no fewer than six Democratic politicians have lined up to replace him.
Kelly, 39, has been traveling the state for months to gain support. But the infusion of his personal cash, announced today, will allow the Facebook executive to compete with better-known candidates such as San Francisco District Atty. Kamala Harris, who has raised more than $1.5 million, and former Los Angeles City Atty. Rocky Delgadillo, who has collected more than $1.1 million.
"I think we have a chance to help reduce crime and reinvent California government," Kelly said. "I'm willing to invest some of my own capital to make sure it happens." |
