Chris Kelly Invests $2 Million In Own Campaign

Chris Kelly, the Chief Privacy Officer of Facebook, has invested $2 million of his own money in his race to become the California Attorney General.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, “Kelly had to make the cash drop to stand out from a Democratic field full of people with name recognition.”

While I haven’t heard of any of the other competitors, Kelly is clearly taking this campaign seriously.
