Duckworth Surpasses Kirk in Third-Quarter Fundraising
Via Chicago Tribune:
“Democratic U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth raised more campaign cash during the third quarter of the year than the Republican she is targeting in 2016, Sen. Mark Kirk, according to figures released Wednesday by their campaigns.
Duckworth raised $1.46 million during the three months ending Sept. 30, and Kirk raised $1.05 million. Kirk had more cash on hand — $3.6 million to her $2.8 million — at the end of the reporting period, the campaigns said.
Kirk’s larger campaign treasury is not unexpected because he has been running for re-election since his first Senate win in 2010; Duckworth announced in March her bid for the Democratic nomination to challenge Kirk.”
