Fundraising Roundup
We won't do a post every time a hotshot candidate announces he or she has raised big bucks, but here's what we learned today:
A GOP source tells us ex-US Atty Tim Griffin (R), challenging Rep. Vic Snyder (D-AR), will report raising north of $250K for the 4th quarter, nearly twice what he raised in his first quarter as a candidate.
'08 VA-11 GOP nominee/businessman Keith Fimian (R) will report having nearly $500K in the bank after the past 3 months. At the end of September, Fimian had $263K in the bank and $230K in debt, in the form of loans to his own campaign. No word yet on how much of that debt he's retired.
Fimian lost his '08 race by a 55%-43% margin to Rep. Gerry Connolly (D).
Atty Ann McLane Kuster (D), running to replace Rep. Paul Hodes, pulled in $206K over the past 3 months, ending the year with $550K from 1,200 donors, according to a release first reported by the New Hampshire Union Leader.
And the NRCC has rewarded 3 challengers by promoting them to the 2nd tier of the Young Guns program. Griffin, MS State Sen. Alan Nunnelee (R) and ex-US Atty Pat Meehan (R) are all "Contenders," joining 10 other GOP candidates who have already reached that level.
