(Bumped – promoted by James L.)
Yesterday was the deadline for House and Senate campaigns to file their fundraising reports for the second quarter of 2007. As promised, just like we did for the first and second quarters, we’ve amassed a list of noteworthy fundraising numbers for House incumbents and challengers. While this list is seriously mega, it is not meant to be comprehensive. If we’ve missed anything, please post the numbers in the comments. And remember: these numbers are adjusted for rounding. The second column shows cash-on-hand, and the third shows cycle-to-date fundraising.
Scroll buttons ready? Away we go!
A few quick notes:
- Republican challengers who out-raised Democratic incumbents: Richard Goddard (GA-08), Jim Ryun (KS-02), John Stephen (NH-01), Andrew Saul (NY-19), Chris Hackett (PA-10)* (Hackett is a little iffy — his total includes a $100K personal donation, as opposed to a loan.)
- Democratic challengers who out-raised Republican incumbents: Darcy Burner (WA-08), Charlie Brown (CA-04), Charlie Stuart (FL-08), Nels Ackerson (IN-04), Andrew Duck (MD-06), Mark Schauer (MI-07), Linda Stender (NJ-07), Vic Wulsin (OH-02), Steve Black (OH-02), Tom Perriello (VA-05), Judy Feder (VA-10), Gary Trauner (WY-AL)
- Republican incumbents who were out-raised by other Republicans: Wayne Gilchrest (MD-01), John Doolittle (CA-04)
- Democratic incumbents who were out-raised by other Democrats: Dan Lipinski (IL-03), Dennis Kucinich (OH-10)
- MO-06 and WA-08: So get this. Despite being the beneficiary of a high-profile fundraiser hosted by Republican Lord & Savior George W. Bush, Dave Reichert was out-hustled by Democrat Darcy Burner. Compare Reichert’s haul with the total posted by Sam Graves, a Missouri Republican who received a fundraising visit from Dick Cheney. Graves raised a very impressive $500K+ for the quarter. I guess the President’s star power isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be anymore.
- WA-08: Oh, and speaking of Dave Reichert, check out his filing. He posted an unusually large amount of contribution refunds: $47,100. I wonder what the deal is there.
- Bills, bills, bills: Dig a little deeper into the filing of Alaska’s Don Young, whose expenses outweighed his receipts by a $200K margin. What is he spending that money on? $177,000 in legal bills to the DC law firm of Akin Gump might explain the incumbent’s diminishing (but still huge) cash-on-hand. Will Thomas over at TPM has more in this vein.
- Anatomy of a Dud, Part II: Are Tim Walz and Zack Space the luckiest Dem freshmen sitting in districts that Bush carried? Take a look at their hapless opponents, who are all posting extremely anemic fundraising numbers.
- VA-05 and IN-04: Where did Tom Perriello and Nels Ackerson come from? Way to turn some heads — both candidates outraised their opponents in abbreviated fundraising quarters since announcing their House bids.
- MD-01: Is Wayne Gilchrest doomed? It sure seems like Republicans are eager to make an example out of him for his support of Democratic efforts to end the war in Iraq.
Thanks for putting all that information together.
IL-11? that seems to be our best pickup opportunity in IL, but I don’t see any numbers.
Also, I wouldn’t count out Gilchrest. He’s fended off primary challengers before.
You point out the $47,100 in refunds in Reichert’s numbers, but there is a whole lot more that is bizarre about them.
Firstly they have been explained by the campaign as due to
Except these refunds are primarily accounting for overages made through individual contributions, not the Bush event which would have by rule been processed via a joint account, and the money from that is actually listed on line 12 of the summary report and amounts to only $35,754.80. That joint account belongs to the Reichert Washington Victory Committee and only showed receipts of $135,000, a far cry less than the $500,000 the campaign suggested Bush brought in for the campaign and state party.
So it seems that there were accounting/money processing errors, and that the campaign has been bloating their numbers so that it looked like Reichert raised more money than Burner in the quarter, which it is now clear that he didn’t.
Impressive showing for Kay Barnes. Looks like the DCCC scored big with that recruit.
What’s up with John Hall? How is his opponent beating him? Is the DCCC going to jump in and help him out?
Ann Kirkpatrick is leading the fundraising in AZ-01. No incumbent to outfundraise.
Tim Walz is fundraising like crazy and his opponents suck. That’s great. Now we can focus on winning MN-Sen, MN-02, MN-03 and MN-06. I think Bonoff’s strong numbers show she can win and Franken outraised Coleman. The other two are more iffy.
Going great there, Trauner! Keep it up!
On the other hand, Boyda will have to watch out for Ryun…
It’s time to try to get Gilchrest to change parties.
It’s obvious that Harris is going to win the primary (ex-Gov. Bob Ehrlich is hosting a fundraiser for him, 7 of 8 GOP state senators in the district have endorsed him. etc.). The question, then, is who would be the best Democrat to beat Harris? I think it’s Gilchrest. Sure, if he changed parties Gilchrest would be the most conservative Democrat from the Northeast, but he has a good record on environmental issues and on the war.
Are you listening Chris Van Hollen?
Add another $30,000 for debt reduction on last cycle’s account for a total of about $110,000. Not stellar, but puts him about $309,000 ahead of where he was this time last cycle.
so who are they and can they win???
i know Virgil Goode is an xenophobic former democrat in what i would guess is a very conservative district and i checked Tom Perriello’s website and he seems to be a peace & justice activist, but I don’t anything about Buyer or Ackerson or Indiana’s 4th.
Oh and while we’re talking about VA, who is Judy Feder and Frank Wolf? I’ve never heard of either one.
How about Sestak and Mahoney? Wow! Mahoney will need it.
…Cubin’s and Trauner’s numbers?
