Lorena…err, umm…Tierra Gonzalez Maxes Out to Fletcher

Tierra Gonzalez, daughter of Lorena Gonzalez, made a large contribution to self-proclaimed conservative Republican Nathan Fletcher.

The U-T San Diego describes Tierra as a “10th grader at Mission Bay High School, was among 250 students who walked out of the school to protest proposed teacher cuts in the San Diego Unifed School District on Friday, March 16, 2012. Tierra is the daughter of Lorena Gonzalez, the Secretary-Treasurer and CEO for the San Diego and Imperial Counties Labor Council.”

The questions that come to mind… is Tierra a pass-through for Lorena?, is Tierra supporting a conservative Republican?, or is Nathan less of a conservative Republican than he says?

According to the State of California…

A contribution made by a child under the age of 18 is presumed to be a contribution from his or her parent or guardian, unless the facts show otherwise, e.g., that the child actually chose to make the contribution.

All this while the (other) labor backed candidate, Bob Filner, can’t even keep his head above water fundraising wise…

UPDATE: Tierra Gonzalez tweeted at 5:00PM:

“I make my own money. Pay my own taxes. Make my own political decisions #TeamFletcher”

Good for her. How does listing her occupation as “student” and employer as “N/A” jibe with her making her own money. I assume she isn’t paid to go to school. Did Fletcher/Gonzalez misreport her contribution?
