Gibson outraises Murphy; Murphy has way more cash

Jul 14, 2010 1:14 am
From Jimmy Vielkind in Capitol Confidential:
Chris Gibson has apparently raised more money in the last three months than Rep. Scott Murphy, the Glens Falls Democrat he seeks to unseat. But Murphy still has 2.5 times as much money in the bank as Gibson, a retired Army colonel from Kinderhook. Both men will report on their campaign’s donations and expenditures by Thursday. But sources familiar with each of the campaigns offered preliminary peeks at their totals. Murphy, who won a special election to replace now-Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand in 2009, raised just over $350,000 this quarter and now has $1.3 million on hand.... Gibson raised around $487,000, a person familiar with his filing said, confirming a report posted Monday on Politico.com. He raised $108,000 in the first month of his race, according to the last quarterly filing, and now has about $500,000 on hand.... Gibson spokesman Rob Clark said the campaign is still in the process of compiling its filing, and declined to give an exact number. He said the above numbers are “in the ballpark” and said the campaign had 1,530 donors. Read the entire story in Capitol Confidential.
