DiNatale and Niemczura Campaign Money Information

Note: Edited at 10 p.m. Monday.

We hate to tip our hand to the Big Daily Media, but House candidates needed to file campaign finance reports today. Democrat Steve DiNatale has been slightly outspent, but Republican Ed Niemczura doesn't have any cash on hand as he hits the home stretch.

Here's the short and dirty (for all the details, click here, go to "online campaign finance reports," and you'll be fine):

From his early-September pre-primary report to late October, DiNatale raised $7,530 and spent $10, 307. He has $4,651 on-hand. In his previous report, he reported $13,171 in receipts, meaning his raised $20,701 for his campaign and spent $16,050.

His major expense this time was media. There's just over $3,000 in Sentinel and Enterprise ads, and exactly $3,000 for WEIM.

If he wasn't the Establishment Candidate before, he sure seems to be now. Quickly, we found Tom Conry, Ted DeSalvatore, Tom Donnelly, Emile Goguen, the Early Committee and Brian Knuttila all gave during this period. There are more, but go find them yourselves.

Niemczura? He took in $7,275 (for a total of $22,750 for the campaign), almost all of it in form of $6,500 from himself. Mayor Dan Mylott chipped in $100.

Niemczura spent $9,783, almost all of it on advertising, including Comcast ($4,000), the Sentinel ($3,600), WEIM ($750) and Triton Properties (which we assume is a billboard, $840). Niemczura heads into the home stretch with $24.13 on hand, and yes, the decimal is in the right place. Niemczura said he'd dump as much as $30,000 of his own money into the campaign. He's dropped over $20,000 already, and another $10,000 may not make a big difference.
