Congressional Campaign Quarterly Finance Reports

Congressional campaign committees had to turn in quarterly finance reports in mid-April for the first quarter (Jan-March 2007). I finally got the time to mosey over the www.fec.gov and see what is what; opensecrets doesn't have their usual nifty summation. Here’s a brief outline of what people brought in, what they spent, and what they have on hand. Some numbers didn’t add up, there was some funds that came in after the election and before January and it is folded in somehow. Sometimes there were refunds, etc., that I couldn’t figure out how to list. Some numbers are rounded up or down to whole numbers. You can look at the fec site yourself to double check anything.

I guess Schwartz did not have to expend that much, or she is just in the richest area. Or even better, both.

Sparky,

Schwartz is very good at raising money and did not have a very strong opponent last time around so she could just accumulate what came in. A number of people have speculated that she has thought of running for higher office, though there isn't a clear consensus on what that office would be (senate? governor?)

Incidently, I checked on Brady and Fattah, too. Brady, like Schwartz is sitting on a big pot of money, Fattah consideratly less.
