Today was the deadline for filing federal campaign returns, and the landscape of New Jersey politics hasn’t altered drastically.
In the Senate race, only
Frank Lautenberg has filed with the Federal Election Commission. While the numbers have not yet appeared on the site, campaign manager Brendan Gill said that the 84-year-old Democrat has raised $931,700 during the last quarter of 2007, bringing his cash on hand total to about
$4.32 million.
The next highest fundraising total in the Senate race belongs to Republican businesswoman
Anne Evans Estabrook, who put $1.6 million into her fledgling campaign and has raised a total of about
$1.7 million. She has about $1.5 million cash on hand. State Senator Joe Pennacchio only entered the race in January, so he will not need to file until March, and would not divulge how much he’s raised so far.
“We raised money, we’ve had an awful lot of commitments, so we’re right on target for where I think we should be,” he said.
Meanwhile, Ron Paul presidential supporter
Murray Sabrin kicked off his campaign through an internet campaign beginning last week, and has raised approximately
$41,000, according to a campaign aide.
