LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – During the first two and a half months of 2012, the four candidates in this year’s judicial race raised just under $20,000 to go toward their campaigns, according to campaign finance reports.

Judy Conard, Michael Friel, Susan Krones and Michael Lunas are running for the bench in Lake County Superior Court Department 1.

Judge David Herrick, who currently holds the seat, is not seeking reelection and will retire at year’s end.

The campaign finance reports cover the period of Jan. 1 through March 17.

Contributions – monetary and nonmonetary – as well as loans, payments, cash balances and contributors are detailed in the reporting documents.

As of the end of the filing period, Lunas had the largest overall amount in contributions, $7,826.80, of which $4,000 was cash he had loaned himself, according to the filings.

He was followed by Friel, with a total of $6,473 raised and no loans, the only candidate not to loan himself cash for the campaign; Conard, with $3,713.46 and just under $2,100 that she had loaned herself; and Krones, with $1,750, of which $1,700 were loans to herself.
