Walz raises $235K in second quarter
First Congressional District Rep. Tim Walz has raised $234,855 in the second quarter of the year, according to a campaign finance report filed with the Federal Election Commission Sunday.
That brings the three-term Democrat's total fundraising for this election cycle to $1,466,453.
Walz reports having $808,644 in the bank and no debt.
A big chunk of Walz's cash came from political action committees or "PACs" as they are commonly called. All told, these organizations, including the American Sugar Cane League of USA PAC, the Delta Airlines PAC, and a variety of labor, energy and health care fundraising committees, gave Walz $102,000 this quarter. That brings the amount of cash Walz has raised this election from specific groups to $577,925.
Walz's potential opponent Allen Quist has raised $178,230 this quarter, much of it coming from his own pockets.
Minnesota Sen. Mike Parry, the other Republican vying to take on Walz this fall, has yet to report his finances for April, May and June.
