Who’s in the Money
What do I do with my hands?
Filings have begun with the Arkansas Secretary of State for the 2010 election cycle for the quarter ending June 30. Right now Pat O’Brien for Secretary of State is in first place with $121,501.04 with Rep. Dan Greenberg for State Senate in second with $104,400. Filing late on Wednesday, Dustin McDaniel took the price with $502,585.33 (A little birdie tells me a portion of this will cover his expenses to go to Washington to testify at the Sotomayor confirmation hearings.)
I will try to update this thread with who has filed, how much they have raised, and who are their big money contributors. By the way, $2,000 is the state maximum for contributions for any one source. (Details in the comments section.)
