ELECTION 2026

Glendale Ocotillo District candidates fund most of campaigns

The four candidates in Glendale’s two competitive City Council races ramped up the spending in the second quarter, though two competing election campaigns remain largely self funded and a third was at almost a 50/50 split between her own funds and outside contributions.

Incumbent Ocotillo District council member Leandro Baldenegro only brought in $100 in the first quarter this year, all of it his own money. In April through June, his campaign received $2,577.40 and $2,000 of that is his own money.

Baldenegro spent $2,201.73 in this quarter and had $475.67 remaining as of July 1. He stated in an email that he is walking the walk in terms of his claim of not being a politician.
