The technical political term for the state of Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon’s campaign finances as he heads into the November is “ouch.”  Maybe even an “ooof” is warranted.

As of June 30 – the end of the donation reporting period that began just before the March primary – Gascon reported having about $47,000 cash on hand.

His opponent Nathan Hochman had more than $1.1 million dollars in the bank.  That’s 23 times more than Gascon has.

23x – let that sink in.

As for the donations that came in for the most part after the primary, Gascon raised about $166,000, while Hochman raised more than $1.5 million.
