Cha Ching! Show Us The Money!

Today marked the day where us mere voters were privy to the campaign finance reports of all are elected offices. Some surprises ( I cannot believe the Constitution party actually believes in American money to raise some. Wait sorry wrong joke.), and some not (the GOP is strong in the greenbacks in Mississippi).

Here are the results of donations and cash on hand from July 1 2007 to September 30 2007 (92 days total) (Numbers with help from Clarion-Ledger)

Race/Candidate: Total of 92 days Cash On Hand


Governor:
Haley Barbour (R) $2,871,769.18 $5,945,274.71
John A. Eaves (D) $1,470,247.80 $23,799.32

LT. Governor:
Phil Bryant (R) $967,670.31 $373,712.69
Jamie Franks (D) $267,752.00 $595,941.00

Atty General:
Jim Hood (D) $646,131.00 $313,213.94
Al Hopkins (R) $591,757.05 $333,753.01

Sec. Of State:
Delbert Hoseman (R) $318,009.00 $276,640.42
Robert Smith (D) $26,092.77 $10,824.14

State Auditor:
Stacey Pickering (R) $67,718.00 $217,235.61
Mike Sumrall (D) $16,138.17 $4,581.54

State Treasurer:
Tate Reeves (R) $49,347.94 $720,199.87
Shawn O'Hara (D) n/a n/a

Insurance Commish:
Mike Chaney (R) $324,048.00 $270,126.00
Gary Anderson (D) $114,617.34 $23,885.87

Agriculture Commish:
Lester Spell (R) $121,341.21 $115,745.84
Rickey Cole (D) $37,385.00 $39,320.57
Paul Leslie Riley (C) $3,970.00 $79.00


The upside so far is that Franks has a ton of cash on hand for a last month push. Thing is, as we all expected so does Barbour. Attorney General is tighter than I would like to see it, but at least there is ground being held there.

And a little local Starkville Flavor:
State Representative District 37
Gary Chism (R) $12,550.00 $16,657.00
J.C. Patton (D) $16,452.99 $12,535.37

And thats all I know for Starkville's representation! Sorry!
