The latest financial disclosures filed by County Sheriff Mike Kanalakis and challenger Scott Miller show Kanalakis with expenditures of $326,099 and Miller with less than half that amount at nearly $140,000.

Kanalakis had raised $276,832 to Miller's $152,409.

Most of Miller's cash—$120,000—comes in the form of loans to his campaign. He also received $5,500 from the Monterey County Prosecutors Associaiton, along with smaller private contributions.

Kanalakis got a $1,000 vote of confidence from newly minted state senator Sam Blakeslee's campaign, and a $500 assist from a Bay Area-based Republican PAC, the Lincoln Club of Northern California. Much of his other support comes from big ag and Sheriff's Office employees.
