House Campaigns Rush to File Fundraising Reports
A deluge of House challengers and incumbents announced their fundraising tallies for the third quarter Tuesday. Here are the financial reports that caught our attention:
- #CA07: Republican Igor Birman will report raising nearly $163,000 in the third quarter, with $139,000 in cash on hand. The former chief of staff to Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Calif., is running in the GOP primary against former Rep. Doug Ose and autism activist Elizabeth Emken. The GOP trio is looking to unseat freshman Rep. Ami Bera. Ose reported raising $247,000 with $256,000 cash on hand. Emken and Bera have yet to release their third-quarter numbers.
- #CA10: Republican Rep. Jeff Denham raised $354,000 and had $1.1 million in the bank.

More numbers after the jump.
- #IL10: Democratic Rep. Brad Schneider raised $368,000 and had $769,000 in the bank. That haul is slightly larger than that of his Republican rival, former Rep. Robert Dold, who released his numbers Monday.

- #NC07: Former state Sen. David Rouzer raised $92,000 in the third-quarter and has $178,000 in cash on hand going into his rematch with vulnerable Democratic Rep. Mike McIntyre.
