Thursday Fundraising Roundup
Today's FEC day, when every campaign has to file their reports. But some campaigns got a jump on their reports. By the way, follow us on Twitter at @FECtweets for the latest campaign finance updates.
Here's our final pre-deadline roundup of candidate fundraising:
CA SEN: Assemb. Chuck DeVore (R) raised $626K over the last 3 months. That's less than both ex-Rep. Tom Campbell (R) and ex-HP CEO Carly Fiorina (R), but it's DeVore's best quarter to date. DeVore has $412K in the bank.
CO SEN: Sen. Michael Bennet (D) raised $1.4M in the first quarter. He had $3.4M in the bank at the end of the year; we haven't seen cash on hand numbers this time around, yet.
IL SEN: Treas. Alexi Giannoulias (D) raised $1.2M in the first quarter and had about $1.2M in the bank after a competitive primary. Rep. Mark Kirk (R), by contrast, raised $2.2M last quarter and spent less on his less competitive primary.
NH SEN: Rep. Paul Hodes (D) raised $665K last quarter and has "nearly" $1.66M in the bank, according to his camp. Ex-AG Kelly Ayotte (R), who faces a tough fight in the GOP primary, raised $671K last quarter and has $1.3M in the bank already, the New Hampshire Union Leader's John DiStaso writes.
NY SEN: Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D) raised $1.6M last quarter, brining her total to $8.75M since she was appointed, the New York Post wrote. Gillibrand has not yet reported her cash on hand totals. New candidate David Malpass (R) will give himself $1M, and ex-Rep. Joe DioGuardi (R) raised just $100K in his first 15 days. DioGuardi gave himself $931K and has $974K in the bank, the Daily News reports.
OH SEN: LG Lee Fisher (D) raised $550K in the first quarter and had $1.8M in the bank, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. That's a quarter of what ex-Rep. Rob Portman (R) raised in the past 3 months.
After the jump, House races.
AL 07: Atty Terri Sewell (D) raised $185K in her bid to replace Rep. Artur Davis (D), who is running for GOV.
AR 01: Ex-state Sen. Tim Woolridge (R) raised $240K in the first quarter and has $182K in the bank. He's running in a crowded GOP field for the right to replace retiring Rep. Marion Berry (D).
CO 04: State Rep. Cory Gardner (R) raised $273K last quarter and had $540K in the bank. His total is just over half what Rep. Betsy Markey (D) raised last quarter.
FL 08: State Rep. Kurt Kelly (R), running in a competitive GOP primary for the right to face Rep. Alan Grayson (D) in the fall, raised $130K last quarter. He did not release his cash on hand figures.
FL 24: Rep. Suzanne Kosmas (R) raised $260K last quarter and will show $1M in the bank, her campaign said yesterday.
GA 09: Ex-state Rep. Tom Graves (R) has raised $155K for his bid to replace ex-Rep. Nathan Deal (R). The special election date has not been set.
KS 04: State Rep. Raj Goyle (D) raised $300K and had $817K in the bank. Goyle is running to replace Rep. Todd Tiahrt (R), who's running for the state's open SEN seat.
LA 03: Atty Ravi Sangisetty (D) raised $215K and has $375K on hand. He's running to replace Rep. Charlie Melancon (D), who is seeking the state's SEN seat.
MD 01: State Sen. Andy Harris (R) raised $324K last quarter and has $704K in the bank. Harris is seeking a rematch against Rep. Frank Kratovil (D) this fall.
MI 09: Rep. Gary Peters (D) raised $390K last quarter and has $1.7M in the bank.
NY 01: Atty Chris Cox (R), son of NY GOP chair Ed Cox, raised $235K in the first quarter and loaned himself an additional $500K. Cox has $623K in the bank.
PA 11: Hazelton Mayor Lou Barletta (R) raised $220K in the first quarter and had $205K in the bank. Barletta is taking a third run against Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D).
Hey guys. I noticed a mistake under your AR-1 clip. Tim Woolridge is a Democrat and Democrats have the crowded field in that seat. The GOP only has two people running.
Please note that the GA-9 Special Election has been set for May 11th. Graves has raised over $545,000 for the cycle.
