Here's a wrap of the day's notable Senate/House third quarter FEC figures:
Here's a wrap of the day's notable Senate/House third quarter FEC figures:
Senate:
-- Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel had another big quarter, raising $1.5 million. It's not the $2.3 million he brought in last quarter, but it's still very impressive, especially considering the typically slower months during which the money was raised. Of note: Mandel did not release his cash on hand figure.
Mandel raised more than Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, who brought in $1.25 million. That's not a bad haul, but it's the second straight period in which he was outraised by Mandel. Brown finished with just under $4.2 million in the bank.
-- Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, raised $1.6 million and finished the third quarter with $4 million in the bank. We've said it before: money means less in a Utah nomination contest, given the convention system. But Hatch has no Republican opponent right now, so he should feel pretty good about his standing.
-- Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., brought in $1.2 million, $200,000 more than former Rep.Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich., and about $450,000 more than Republican Clark Durant. Stabenow's number is not huge, but at the end of the third quarter, she had $5 million in the bank. Durant and Hoekstra will have to prove they can continue to put up good numbers.
-- Nebraska Republican Attorney General Jon Bruning raised over $583,000 and ended the period with nearly $1.6 million in the bank, a source relays. It's an improvement from last quarter for the GOP frontrunner, but he still has a ways to go. At the end of the second quarter, Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., had nearly $3 million in the bank. Nebraska Republican state Sen.Deb Fischer raised over $228,000 and ended the period with $206,000 in the bank. Nothing yet from state Treasurer Don Stenberg, whose fundraising has been anemic thus far.
-- Rep. Rick Berg, R-N.D., raised over $650,000. That's a solid haul that put his campaign over the $1 million cash on hand mark on September 30. Berg has a primary opponent, but a Democratic challenger hasn't yet emerged.
-- Former Arizona Democratic Party Chairman Don Bivens raised $340,000 and will report $285,000 cash on hand, an adviser said. Bivens filed exploratory paperwork in July but his camapign says he didn't start raising money until mid to late August. We're still waiting to see whether former Surgeon General Richard Carmona, who is being courted for the race by President Obama, will run.
-- New Mexico long-shot Republican candidate Greg Sowards raised over $231,000 in the third quarter, of which $185,000 was a loan from the candidate. Sowards will report over $496,000 in the bank. Still no word from former Rep. Heather Wilson or Lt. Gov. John Sanchez.
House:
-- It was a star-studded list of donors that helped Rep. Howard Berman, D-Calif., raise nearly $820,000 this quarter for an inevitable primary matchup with fellow Rep. Brad Sherman, D-Calif. Among Berman's donors -- actor Tom Hanks and his actress/producer wife Rita Wilson (who listed her occupation as "homemaker"), "West Wing" producer Aaron Sorkin, funnyman producer Judd Apatow and director Steven Spielberg. Some of Berman's fellow Democrats are showing him love as well -- he got checks from Sen. Dianne Feinstein and fellow California Democrats Henry Waxman and Jackie Speier.
-- Freshman Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., will report raising an impressive $374,000 for the third quarter, according to a GOP source, doubling the haul of his Democratic challenger, state Senate President Brandon Shaffer's. -- Former Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla., always an impressive netroots fundraiser, announced he raised over $416,000 for the quarter from 11,031 individuals. " -- Freshman Rep. Nan Hayworth, R-N.Y., raised $319,000 in the third quarter, leaving her with over $890,000 cash on hand, and bringing her yearly haul to just over $1 million. Hayworth doesn't have a Democratic challenger yet, but she could face a primary challenge from state Sen. Greg Ball. -- Physician Ami Bera raised $325,000 the past three months for his rematch with Rep. Dan Lungren, R-Calif. The 2010 Democratic nominee has $708,000 cash on hand and has now raised $857,000 this cycle, he announced.
