Los Angeles County supervisorial candidate Steve Napolitano has sued his opponent, U.S. Rep. Janice Hahn, demanding that she return hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions deemed improper by county officials. Having to make a six-figure refund could be a major blow to Hahn’s campaign account. The Hahn campaign had $259,000 in cash on hand as of June 30, the most recent campaign filing shows. We’re talking about the largest campaign contribution violation in the history of the county,” Napolitano said in an interview. “That in my mind tends to indicate that this could be a mistaken belief” on the part of Hahn’s campaign.
