Garamendi, assured voters that “never” accepted money from the insurance industry, said the column, he recently returned from credit insurance to three concerns that had donated to his campaign for governor ineffective in the year 1994.
The candidate said he was considering whether to return over $ 20000 appeared at the same time from the concerns of insurance business. The money was donated to his campaign for governor and a political commission, he retained after the election for the first time, the commissioner of insurance during 1990.
The donations are a tiny fraction of what Garamendi, in recent years, but she recalled that claims it has radically voters during the race Insurance Commissioner.
In the interview, Garamendi said he had worked hard to ensure that the promise for a decade to avoid paying into the insurance industry, which has denounced as “poison” and “potential for corruption . ” But over the years, he said, its political accepted a handful of donations from insurance accidentally.
“Given that we again go and verify some slip,” he said. “If we see (a gift from industry), send us the money.” He said he had begun to check donors and the return earlier this month, after learning journalists were curious about the case.
