Contributions down significantly from 2006 race
For the 16 day period ending October 16, incumbent Pat Hume raised $24,599 in his bid to retain the District 2 seat of the Elk Grove City Council.
Of these funds, $19,400 came from real estate developers. Those developers include:
- Niemi Development - $2,500
- Feletto Development Company - $2,500
- M & H Realty Partners - $2,500
- Reynolds & Brown - $2,500
- Village Properties Consolidated - $2,500
- Louse & Voula Pappas Investments - $2,400
- Taylor Morrison of California - $3,500
- RCH Group - $1,000
Hume also received contributions from four individuals involved in real estate development totaling $3,900 and $950 from only four non-real estate associated individual contributors, one of which was his girlfriend Lisa Lent who contributed $150.
For the year has raised $41,274, which does not include a $25,000 personal loan to his campaign In a sign of the continued economic woes and the collapse of real estate developers who had been Hume's most generous patrons, at this time in 2006 Hume had already raised $133,878 in direct contributions.

No need to wonder why Elk Grove is the auto-centric suburban wasteland it has become. As our council approved thousands of housal units annually and promoted heedless expansion, the current foreclosure wasteland was inevitable.
No need to wonder why Hume supports/supported the SOI all the way to the soon-to-be bermed banks of the Consumnes River. Elk Grove is flat, has no trees and is flanked on two sides by freeways -- a developer's paradise.
Couple that with a planning department that endorses the same predictable set of codes as every other poorly grown sprawled out city, that mandates single use zoning, that can tell you your fence doesn't meet setback requirements by 6 inches but can't offer a blueprint for how a viable, vibrant city ought to be arranged...well, consider a vote for Hume a vote for future low-density residential subdivisions to come to the brownfields near you.
Hume had better get busy violating his own restraining order again and quick. New girlfriend Lent gives him a measly $150 while his former girlfriend (as identified by Hume in the Elk Grove Citizen) Conley brought him almost $13K from one fundraiser; not to mention her personal monetary/in-kind contributions as indentified in prior campaign finance forms file with the city of Elk Grove. Seems as if Hume made another poor choice when he mistreated his rainmaker.
