Gov. Jerry Brown (D-CA) has almost $20 million in his campaign accounts, according to his latest campaign finance details released this week. After the final quarter of 2012, Brown had $17 million, but since January he has raised an additional almost $3 million to add to his 2014 gubernatorial bid. Hollywood heavyweights such as David Geffen, Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg all donated more than $27,000 to Brown. Facebook, AOL and Visa were some of the corporations that donated thousands to Brown's campaign.

The deadline for filing is today and Republican front-runners Neel Kashkari and Assemblyman Tim Donnely have yet to reveal their first-quarter contributions and spending. Among Brown's opponents, only Kashkari has been able to surpass the $1 million mark in fundraising, giving credence to those who believe beating Brown is an uphill battle no one can win.

Brown has not spent much on the campaign, as just $65,000 has gone out to "consultants." On Sunday, the LA Times wrote a glowing piece about Brown trying to be the "non-politician politician." The piece by Anthony York and veteran reporter Mark Z. Barabak featured paragraphs with softball phrases like this,

Brown fashions many of his own speeches, veto messages and even press releases. His staff in the governor's office is about half that of his Republican predecessor...

The piece also said Brown has no plans to pursue higher office despite some rumors people were encouraging him to run for president in 2016. Jerry Brown and Hawaii's governor Neal Abercrombie are both 75 and are currently the oldest serving governors in the United States.
