David Lombardo is reporting for Capitol Confidential U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado is sitting on a sizable war chest with 16 months to go before his reelection campaign. During the past three months, the Rhinebeck Democrat received more than $640,000 in contributions, bringing his total in the bank to $1.09 million, according to his filing with the Federal Election Commission. Nearly 88 percent of Delgado’s contributions in the second quarter came from individual contributors; approximately 12 percent came from political committees. He spent more than a quarter of a million dollars during the quarter, as well. So far, no Republican candidate has declared their intention to unseat the freshman lawmaker in the 19th Congressional District. Read the full story at Capitol Confidential, a Times Union blog.
