Congressional money race (Pt. 3)

Chellie Pingree continues to rake in cash. Pingree, a North Haven Democrat, was the 1st Congressional District's fund-raising leader on Sept. 30, and she increased that lead in the last three months of the year.

Pingree raised $303,365 in the last three months of 2007, which brought her fund-raising total for the campaign to $777,534. She reports having $442,851 cash on hand.

Also filing with the Federal Election Commission last night were Democrat Ethan Strimling and Republican Charlie Summers.

Strimling raised $112,981 between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31, bringing his campaign total to $337,026. His campaign reports having $195,919 cash on hand.

Summers raised $53,455 in the last three months of the year, raising his total to $117,127. The Summers campaign reports having $70,972 in cash on hand.

More soon on where the eight 1st District hopefuls stand in the money race in comparison with each other.
