Joel Anderson

Fined in 2009. Same donors in 2024. The lease, the land, the loophole.

San Diego County Supervisor, District 2. The Hamann family has donated $40K+ since 2022, owns the building where Anderson's county office sits ($265K lease), and owned the land he lobbied for as a state senator. FPPC fined him $20K in 2009 for laundering $30K through county party committees. He raised $341K through a Central Committee contribution-limit loophole. He led the vote to end public approval of $15M+ in annual community grants, then awarded funds to organizations barred from doing business in California.
