Amount Irv Slosberg has loaned to his Senate campaign approaches $500K

Democratic Rep. Irv Slosberg threw another $50,000 of his own money into the Senate District 31 race, bringing his total loans up to $470,000 as of July 29.

The Boca Raton lawmaker was a last-minute filer for the seat and is going up against Sen. Jeff Clemens in the Democratic Primary for the Palm Beach County district.

Outside of loans, Slosberg brought in just $100 in contributions and spent more than $91,000 between July 23 and July 29, leaving him with just under $19,000 in the bank.

Among the outflow was $28,000 to Maryland-based Potomac Campaigns Group for printing and mailing, $26,000 to Mark Graphics of Boca Raton for advertising, as well as $25,000 to Washington, D.C. shop Winning Connections for campaign research.

Clemens added $42,750 to his campaign account during the one-week reporting period, though, like Slosberg, his campaign spent more than it brought in. After $52,079 in expenditures, Clemens had $73,000 on hand.

The Lake Worth legislator’s fundraising haul came in across 59 contributions, including several $1,000 donations from Monroe Street political committees, while the bulk of the spending went ad agency Fletcher Rowley, which collected $46,750.

The pair also face Democrat Emmanuel Morel and write-in candidate Jason Swaby, though neither candidate has shown much in the way of campaign contributions.
