If the financial contributions over the fight over Measure J, the ballot measure intended to forbid factory farming in Sonoma County are any indication, opponents of the measure should feel confident.
Financial contribution filings made on October 24, 2024 (Form 460) show a massive imbalance, with opponents reporting far more money contributed than proponents.
The Coalition to End Factory Farming, Yes on Measure J, Sponsored by animal rights and environmental justice organizations, report contributions of $219,239. The Sonoma County Family Farmers Alliance PAC, No on Measure J, Sponsored by Sonoma County Farm Bureau report contributions of $1,475,856.
A review of the line items on required filings show contributions for both sides have arrived from parties well outside of Sonoma County, an indication that the measure is seen as a bell weather issue.
