\"\"<\/a>Do\u00f1a Ana County Commissioner Bill McCamley<\/a>, who is attempting to unseat U.S. Rep. Steve Pearce<\/a> next year, raised just under $140,000 in his first three months in the race. <\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

That\u2019s an impressive total, and it\u2019s more than any previous Democratic challenger to the GOP representative was able to raise in the first fundraising quarter he was in the race.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

McCamley announced Sunday evening in a news release that he raised $139,600 during the fundraising quarter that ended June 30. He entered the race on April 4, three days after the quarter began.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

McCamley\u2019s campaign spent $6,300 during the period, leaving him with $133,300 on hand. He had 216 contributors, the news release stated, but he didn\u2019t release their names.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

\u201cThe money this campaign has raised in less than one quarter demonstrates that there is a hunger for change in our representation in Washington<\/st1:place><\/st1:state>,\u201d McCamley said. \u201c\u2026 We know that we\u2019ve got a long way to go, but we\u2019re off to a good start and we\u2019ve shown that we will run a professional and extremely efficient campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

The only other Democrat in the race at this point, Al Kissling<\/a>, hasn\u2019t yet filed his second-quarter report. He raised a little less than $1,300 during the first quarter of the year and had expenses of more than $3,300. He also had a campaign debt to himself of $8,200.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Pearce also hasn\u2019t filed his second-quarter report or released fundraising numbers, but he made a big push for cash this quarter in an attempt to discourage the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee<\/a>, the fundraising arm of House Democrats, from getting involved in the race. During the first quarter, he raised more than $114,000 and had expenses of just under $50,000. Pearce ended the first quarter with $196,000 on hand.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

According to the site Swing State Project<\/a>, McCamley was the 20th highest fundraiser among Democratic House candidates through the site ActBlue<\/a> during the second quarter, indicating that his is one campaign to watch. He raised $13,930 through the Web site during the quarter.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see who contributed to McCamley\u2019s campaign, and how his fundraising compares to that of Kissling and Pearce, once all candidates file reports with the Federal Election Commission<\/a>, which they must do by Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
