Hutchison's campaigns reported raising $1,056,309 (2017–2026). $145,550 of it came from James L. Previti, one of his companies (such as FH II, his homebuilding company), or political groups that had reported receiving money from them. Those groups also reported spending $119,861 on their own supporting him.
How to read these figures. “Given” means a campaign contribution reported by the candidate's campaign. “Spent” means a group paid for its own mailers or ads supporting the candidate. “Previti-linked” means the money came from James L. Previti, one of his companies, or a political group that had reported receiving money from them.
Some of these groups had also reported receiving money from Industrial Integrity Solutions (IIS), Previti's marijuana (cannabis) company. Those amounts are marked with a leaf below.
Share of campaign money
Where the Previti-linked contributions came from
Each bar is a Previti company, Previti himself, or a group that had reported receiving Previti money. The small line under each name says what it is.
Leaf, green bar, or *: paid by a group after it, or a group that funded it, reported receiving money from IIS (Previti's marijuana company). This marks timing only; the amounts are not traceable IIS dollars.
The marijuana (cannabis) company link
Of the amounts above, $45,500 in contributions and $11,277 in separate spending came from groups after they, or a group that funded them, reported receiving money from Industrial Integrity Solutions (IIS), Previti's marijuana (cannabis) company: SB County GOP (San Bernardino County Republican Party) $46,277; Armendarez for Supervisor campaign (via Coalition for Better Government, a political committee) $10,500. Total: $56,777. [S-240, S-282, S-283, S-311]
Statements for voters
- This council voted to keep marijuana dispensaries out of Rancho Cucamonga [S-309, S-310]. Yet Previti's marijuana company has given $717,200 to political groups since 2019, including $183,000 to the SB County GOP (San Bernardino County Republican Party) in 2026 and $20,000 to the Coalition for Better Government (a political committee) in 2022. Money from those groups then reached Kennedy, Hutchison, Scott and Stickler, both directly and through other campaigns. Marijuana stores stay out of our backyard, but marijuana-linked money makes it into their campaigns after passing through other groups. Who are the real NIMBYs?
- Once money goes into a political group's account, it's pooled with other donations, so no one can say exactly how many of the marijuana dollars reached each candidate. But routing money through a political party or a PAC doesn't change where it came from. The marijuana company's money went in, and the money to these candidates came out of the same accounts.
- Previti could give to these candidates directly. Instead, the marijuana money went to other groups first and reached the candidates from there, sometimes two steps removed, which makes it far harder for voters to trace.
Ask them. Before you vote.
