Brunner burning through campaign coffers faster than Fisher
Here’s the rest of the story on Ohio’s U.S. Senate race, apologies to Paul Harvey.
Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner is burning through her so-far limited resources at a faster pace than her opponent in the Democratic primary, Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher, spending more in the second quarter of this year than she raised.
Brunner raised $228,021.57 in the second quarter, which ended June 30. She spent $255,123.93 during that period.
According to her report filed with the Federal Election Commission, Brunner ended the second quarter with $165,451.57 in cash on hand. So far during the campaign, she raised $435,257.43 and spent $269,805.86.
Fisher, meanwhile, raised $903,762.89 during the second quarter and spent $414,865.24 during that period. He ended the quarter with about $1.47 million still on hand, according to his report. That was after raising about $1.91 million over six months and spending $433,390.40.
Both trail Republican Rob Portman who had $4.3 million in cash on hand after six months.

Brunner is a party girl, what ever her party wants she deliver. Remember last year when she wouldn’t investigate voter fraud. She will be a party girl in DC. Ohio doesn’t need another party person, we have Sen Brown.
