SENATE MONEY GAME



Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin continues to set records in campaign contributions heading into the August primary election. Her campaign raised $4.4 million in the first quarter of  this year and in the latest reporting period she brought in an added $6.45 million. All told in this election cycle, the Slotkin campaign has raised $22.5 million while still rejecting contributions from corporate PACs. Primary challenger Hill Harper, actor, author and small business owner, brought in $387,000 for the latest reporting period and has just over $209,000 in the bank. Over in the Republican primary, Mike Rogers raised about $2 million in the latest reporting period, after raising $2.9 million during the first quarter of the year. GOP challenger Justin Amash brought in $184,000 and sits with $400,000 on hand. Sandy Pensler, light on individual donations, loaned himself an added $1.9 million in this reporting period which brings to almost $5 million of personal money he has plowed into the contest. Physician Sherry O’Donell, who loaned her campaign $81,000 in the first quarter of the year, brought in $143,000 for the latest reporting period. Ignoring what the assumed nominees (Slotkin, Rogers) have been able to raise, prognosticators are betting that the race to fill the seat now held by retiring Senator Debbie Stabenow will be a close one. The Cook Political Report just changed its ranking on the race from “leans Democrat” to “toss up.”
