With a week left in early voting, Congressional District 4 Republican John Rutherford is working to ensure he has the money to compete against the better-funded Hans Tanzler, with some personal loans and donations over the last week totaling $18,000.
All of these contributions came in after the pre-primary report on Aug. 10.
Aug. 16 saw Rutherford give his campaign $10,000, with $1,000 coming from a contributor.
Aug. 17 saw another $1,000 come his way. And Aug. 19 saw $6,000 come in via $1,000 checks.
Rutherford had $136,000 on hand at the end of the pre-primary period, though much of that was earmarked for the general election.
Opponents Hans Tanzler (with $82K cash-on-hand) has seen no new money come in during the same period, though Lake Ray (with $68K COH) scored $1,000 from Curtis Hart.
Meanwhile, in Congressional District 5, Al Lawson brought in $4,000 of new money since the pre-primary report ran, while incumbent Corrine Brown has brought in nothing.
The highlight of Lawson’s latest contributions: $1,000 from the Fraternal Order of Police, which looks comfortable with Lawson ahead of GOP nominee Glo Smith.
Lawson has over $124,000 COH now; Brown, under $25,000.
