Looking over Rep. Elton Gallegly's campaign-finance filings with the FEC yesterday, I noted the long list of local contributors that represented a who's who of Ventura County's social and economic establishment.

There were ranchers, bankers, business owners, doctors -- all the usual suspects.

And then there was this unusual entry: A contribution from a donor whose occupation was described as a self-employed artist from Ojai.

The name of the artist? Michael D. Bradbury, the former district attorney.
