Senate funds: Reid raises $2M, McMahon self-funds $6 million
Fourth quarter Senate numbers (due Sunday) are rolling in fast.
In case you’ve been doing something else today:
-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) raised $2 million and has $8.7 million in the bank. His wealthiest GOP opponent, self-funding banker John Chachas, had $1.7 million on hand.
-Former Rep. Rob Simmons (R-Conn.) raised $630,000 and banked $1.3 million, while primary opponent Linda McMahon raised $35,000, self-funded $3 million ($6 million total now), spent $3.4 million and was left with $1.1 million on hand.
-Arkansas state Sen. Gilbert Baker (R) raised $1 million
less than Sen. Blanche Lincoln’s (D-Ark.) $1.3 million.
-California state Assemblyman Chuck DeVore (R) raised $445,000 and had $226,000 in the bank. Primary opponent Carly Fiorina, meanwhile, clarifies that she raised $970,000 after her official announcement Nov. 4 and $114,000 in the two and a half months prior, when she wasn't actively raising money. She also self-funded $2.5 million and had $2.7 million cash on hand.
-Sen. Charles Grassley’s (R-Iowa) Democratic opponent, Roxanne Conlin, raised a respectable $600,000 and banked $500,000 of it.
-Rand Paul raised $650,000 and had $1.3 million in the bank in Kentucky’s GOP Senate primary.
-Rep. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) said via Twitter that he raised more than $1 million. He could be slow-rolling it, though; last year, he said he raised “more than $1 million” one quarter and wound up reporting $1.4 million.
(Oh, and he doesn’t have much to worry about in the primary. State Sen. Chuck Purgason reported raising just $4,000 for the quarter and had $125 in the bank.)
