That’s What I Want
In the past couple days pretty much all anyone is talking about are the candidates’ reports filed yesterday on money raised and spent. The reports are available on the IECDB website.
If you want a good summary, see what Chris Woods over at Political Forecast has to say. He has a good post exclusively on the gubernatorial race, where Culver has out-fundraised Nussle by $200,000. It is certainly interesting to see who’s been donating, including a selection of presidential hopefuls.
Looking closer to home in Grinnell’s State House race in the last quarter (July 15-Oct 14)
Danny Carroll
CoH: $35,808.04
Cash contributions: $94,367.40
In-kind contributions: $104,239.94
Expenditures: $85,435.83
Debt: $0
Eric Palmer
CoH: $11,487.12
Cash contributions: $60,095.60
In-Kind contributions: $40,233.94
Expenditures: $65,226.97
Debt: $0
Clearly it isn’t great news to see that Carroll has more money than Palmer at this point in the game, and Palmer certainly could’ve used the money from Warner’s PAC. However, I also know that Palmer has been working tirelessly on this campaign, and it seems impossible that someone could meet both the candidates and not come away with a better impression of Eric.
