Huntington Beach, Calif. — Today Republican candidate for the 72^nd Assembly District, Gracey Van Der Mark, reported that she had more than $100,000 cash on hand on her campaign finance report for the period ending June 30^th 2025. While the final reports of the election aren’t required until the end of July, Van Der Mark is certainly considered a front runner in the election.

The number is especially impressive since Van Der Mark announced her campaign just a few short weeks before the reporting period ended.

Gracey Van Der Mark’s exceptional fundraising report is combined with her impressive grassroots support which includes endorsements from Senator Tony Strickland, Supervisor Janet Nguyen, every member of the Newport Beach City Council, super majorities of Huntington Beach and Seal Beach City Councils and many others. A full list of endorsements can be found at www.GraceyForAssembly.com
