(San Bernardino) – San Bernardino County Third District Supervisor Neil Derry came out swinging this past week with a political mailer that pulls no punches. Starting this early in the campaign season, weeks before the filing period opens, signals a very expensive race that insiders say will far exceed seven figures between the two major candidates.

In Derry’s first mailer, he capitalized on James Ramos alleged checkered past as a casino boss and rumored Mexican Mafia member. Ramos is the chairman of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, whose casino is located in the Third District above the city of Highland and he is Derry’s most significant opponent.
The battle between the two men has been going on for many months as they spar about ethics or lack thereof. Derry pleaded guilty to a minor Fair Political Practices Commission violation early last year.
