Denise Ross has all the information on Stephanie Herseth-Sandlin's campaign coffers:
US Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin’s first campaign finance report for 2007 is in. If she keeps up the pace, she’ll arrive in 2008 short of $1 million.
That’s a big if, of course, especially since she also was planning her wedding during the first quarter of 2007.
Here’re the numbers from her electronic filing with the FEC.
- Total raised 1st quarter of ‘07 - $168,801.56
- Total spent 1st quarter of ‘07 - $50,006.80
- Cash on hand heading into the quater - $210,570.70
- What’s in the bank now - $329,365.46
She spent $10,000 on “media production” which is almost certainly campaign ads and materials. Probably the office she would be running for wouldn’t be indicated at this early date.
She’s paying somebody at McLean Thompson in Sioux Falls a monthly salary of $2,770.34. (That’s a bit over $33,000 per year, for those keeping score at home.) I get skunked on a Google search for McLean Thompson.
SHS received $12,000 in contributions from top officials at DM&E railroad or it’s partner, ICE Railroad, plus another $2,000 from a Sioux Falls man who works at Cedar American Rail Holdings.
Her largest single donor appears to be a man named Al Hegyi of Dakota Dunes, chairman of 1st Financial Bank, at $4,600.
From the land of PACs, her biggest single check - $10,000 - came from the Blue Dog Political Action Committee.
The Senate reports aren’t yet available. House candidates are reported to file their reports electronically, and the FEC makes them immediately available. The Senate reports are turned in on paper and, as I recall, scanned in at a later date. More to come, then.
