Ahlers FEC by Pat Powers on Scribd
Democrat US Senate candidate Dan Ahlers didn’t have as frightfully an awful FEC Report as I was expecting. $139,028 raised, $109,111 spent, and $79,473 cash on hand.
BUT.
The big but in this, is that if he wanted to compete at the US Senate level, he should have been raising $139k a quarter starting 18 months ago. In fact, I think this is the first quarter he broke 30K.
As such, US Senator Mike Rounds’ lead is so insurmountable, a relatively respectful quarter is meaningless. So, you can stick a fork in Dan to be sure, but I suspect that tater is done.
Sad that you equate funds raised to a quality candidate. I lost all respect for Sen. Rounds after he refused (on several times) to debate Ahlers. Money doesn’t buy integrity. And that is what Rounds has showed me which is a shame because I voted him all other times. Not this time, Mike. Money doesn’t make the man.
