UPDATED AT 5:15 P.M. TO REFLECT NEW LATE INDEPENDENT EXPENDITURE REPORT

Two independent groups over the weekend doubled down on their spending in attempts to influence political races in Ventura County, and a third weighed in for the first time today..

Federal Elections Commission reports show that the Democratic House Majority PAC purchased an additional $141,285 in television advertising supporting Assemblywoman Julia Brownley in the 26th Congressional District, and spent another $22,000 on a mailer opposing independent candidate Supervisor Linda Parks. Those two expenditures bring the Washington, D.C.-based super PAC's spending in the race so far to $341,373.

In reports filed with the California secretary of state, a business group that uses the name "California Senior Advocates League" disclosed a second mailer sent to voters in the west county's 19th state Senate District race. The $21,614 mail piece opposes Democrat Hannah-Beth Jackson; an earlier piece supported her Democratic opponent, Jason Hodge. The new mailer brings that group's spending in the race to about $44,000.

Finally, in a disclosure filed this afternoon, the California Professional Firefighters Association IE PAC reported a $17,300 mailer supporting Hodge, a county firefighter who has the backing of firefighter unions around the state.

Mr Clegg said he'd been aware only of "indirect and non-specific concerns" about the peer's conduct, some time during 2008.

95 percent accurate
Over the last 25 presidential elections, Ventura County voters have backed the winner 24 times, or over 95 percent of the time. It is one of only a handful of counties in the nation that has been such a predictable bellwether.
