Blunt Roars Back in 2nd Quarter

OUTRAISING ROBIN

Congressman Roy Blunt announced raising $1.44 million dollars during the 2nd fundraising quarter of the year, topping likely Democratic opponent Robin Carnahan's haul.


The second quarter includes money raised between April and June. Reports are due Wednesday.

Blunt spokesman Rich Chrismer called Blunt's fundraising quarter a new blast of momentum for Blunt, lifting his warchest to $1.76 million cash on hand. "This surge in early fundraising continues the momentum for a U.S. Senate campaign which also saw a wave of key endorsements for Roy Blunt, as he continued to clearly outwork his opponent," Chrismer said.

Carnahan raised just over $1 million dollars during the second quarter. Spokesman Tony Wyche notes that nearly 99% of her contributors were individuals.
CASH ON HAND TOTALS:
BLUNT $1.76 M
CARNAHAN $1.37 M
