Fundraising by Challengers to Primaried House Republicans (Part II)

The remaining challengers to House Republican incumbents raised more money than the first group. But they still are not in the same league with the incumbents.

The table below provides the details:

Sam Brown, who is among three Republicans challenging Stefanie Carter, raised the largest amount in campaign contributions and has the second largest amount of money remaining. However, Stefanie Carter raised the most money among the challenged incumbents and had $178,579 remaining at the end of 2013. Rodney Anderson, who had the largest expenditures among the group, used $50,000 to pay back a loan that he made to his campaign. The average raised and remaining cash-on-hand was better for this group of challengers than the first group; however, the figures are nowhere near the amount raised by the incumbents.

With only six weeks remaining until the primary election, the challengers don’t have a lot of time to make their case to the potential voters in the Republican primary election.
