LOS ANGELES — Rick Caruso is on track to spend more than $100 million by Nov. 8 in his bid for Los Angeles mayor, an astounding sum that puts the real estate developer on par with candidate outlays in some of the country’s most closely watched and expensive midterm races.
With just over a week remaining before Election Day, a new set of campaign finance disclosures offers fresh details on how Caruso and his opponent, U.S. Rep. Karen Bass, are allocating their resources in the waning days of the campaign.
The records, which were released late Thursday and cover a 28-day period from Sept. 25 to Oct. 22, also illustrate how the Caruso campaign has drastically accelerated spending in recent weeks.
