4Q Early Fundraising Reports Roundup

Some early numbers are trickling in here and there. NB: Campaigns have until Jan. 31st to get their reports in to the FEC. (Usually they are due on the 15th.)

John Hall (D), NY-19 (via e-mail):

Although the final tabulation isn’t due at the Federal Election Commission until January 15th, I want you to know today that with your support the John Hall for Congress campaign will report more than $1 million cash on hand at the end of 2007 – exceeding our goal for the first year!  To do this, we raised over $300,000 in the fourth quarter alone.

Larry Joe Doherty (D), TX-10:

Democrat Larry Joe Doherty will report over $150,000 raised in his fourth quarter FEC report, bringing his total raised to nearly $380,000 since starting his campaign early summer.

“Checks are still coming in,” noted Campaign Manager Andy Kabza, suggesting that the total will be higher by the time the final report is submitted to the FEC on January 15th.  “And with cash-on-hand of over $250,000, we’re ready to take Larry Joe’s message to Democratic primary voters.”

Mitch McConnell (R), KY-Sen:

McConnell announced he raised $1.7 million in the quarter, and has banked $7.3 million in his campaign account at the end of the year. His cash-on-hand figures are poised to be near the top of all senators facing serious reelection challenges.

Roy Brown (R), MT-Gov:

But Republican candidate Roy Brown has already told KTVQ-TV that he’s raised more than $154,000 since his campaign started eight weeks ago. And he says he’s spent just under $8,000 of that — leaving his campaign with about $146,000 in cash on hand.

Linda Stender (D), NJ-07:

Stender would not say how much she raised in 2007, but a source close to her said that the campaign has approximately $500,000 in the bank.

Kate Whitman (R), NJ-07:

Thirty-year-old former gubernatorial daughter Kate Whitman announced her bid for the seventh congressional district Republican nomination barely a month ago, but her fledgling congressional campaign already has $190,000 in the bank. By the time the last checks are cashed and her quarterly papers are filed, she expects to have raised almost $200,000 for 2007.

Steve Novick (D), OR-Sen:

The U.S. Senate campaign for Democrat Steve Novick tells PolitickerOR.com Tuesday that it raised about $210,000 in the fourth quarter, bringing the campaign’s total raised to date to over $500,000.

Mary Landrieu (D), LA-Sen:

U.S. Senator Mary L. Landrieu, D-La., will kick off the New Year with more than $4 million in the bank for her reelection effort — double the net cash-on-hand she reported at this point in her last race. When official reports are filed later this month, she expects to report more than $1.1 million in fundraising for the last three months of 2007 alone.

John Kennedy (R), LA-Sen:

Republican state Treasurer John Kennedy, who announced in November he would run against Landrieu, raised about $500,000 for the final quarter of 2007 and has about $450,000 in the bank, a campaign official said.

Rick Noriega (D), TX-Sen:

As of December 31, 2007, Noriega raised more than $968,000, 85 percent of which was from Texas residents. In the fourth quarter, Noriega increased his donor base by more than 50 percent over the number of third quarter donors, and overall has raised money from more than 3,000 individuals.

Important note: That $968K figure is Noriega’s total for the cycle-to-date. He raised about $581K through the end of Q3, which means he pulled in about $387K in Q4.
