Californians for Justice Chin files, 1997-1999

Scope and Contents

The Californians for Justice Chin files were created and maintained by Fred Cummings, the treasurer of Justice Chin's retention election campaign and a partner at the firm Aiken, Kramer & Cummings. Cummings stored the files until 2007, when he returned them to Justice Chin. Files include financial records; public relations, fundraising, and election materials; newspaper and magazine articles; correspondence with supporters; contributor records; and endorsement and fundraiser cards. Many materials were created by the public relations firm, The PBN Company.

Arrangement

Because the original order of the file folders was not meaningful, file folders were rearranged to enhance the coherence of the materials. Original file folder titles were retained, unless otherwise noted.
