UPDATED: Portman has $5.14 m and Fisher has $1.6 m on hand for U.S. Senate race
Republican Rob Portman had $5.14 million in cash on hand for his 2010 U.S. Senate race as of Sept. 30, the end of the third quarter reporting period, Portman’s campaign said on Thursday, Oct. 15.
Meanwhile, Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher’s Senate campaign reported that Fisher, a Democrat, finished the quarter with $1.6 million on hand.
The campaign raised $1.3 million in the third quarter and doubled its number of individual donors to nearly 7,000, the campaign said. The campaign spent $525,000 during the third quarter, said Jessica Towhey, campaign spokeswoman.
Portman, a former U.S. House member who served as budget director and trade representative under President George W. Bush, has total receipts of $6.23 million for his campaign, including money transferred from other funds. The Senate campaign has raised $4.71 million through Sept. 30.
Fisher raised about $620,000 in the third quarter and ha raised more than$2.5 million since entering the race, his campaign said.
Portman is running for the GOP nomination against Tom Ganley, a Cleveland-area car dealer. Fisher is running against Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner for the Democratic nomination.
Jeff Longstreth, spokesman for Ganley, said Ganley’s report would be “small.” Ganley, a millionaire, knows that he personally is “going to be funding the vast majority of the campaign,” said Ganley.
Brunner said that she was putting the finishing touches on her report.
Thursday was the deadline for filing campaign finance reports with the Federal Election Commission.

Portman didn’t do to good on the budget and as a trade rep he let all the jobs go overseas and allowed all the illegals to come and take what jobs were left. The GOP better re-think this pick.
