The Julian Beaudion for US Senate campaign has launched, and according to the first FEC report that has been filed, the fledgeling Democrat Senate campaign is doing marginally better than the Brian Bengs (I) campaign for the same race.

Beaudion raised a total of $85,413.40 in his first quarter (Compared to Bengs’ $77,542.44). I make this comparison, as both the Democrat and the Independent are raising money through ActBlue, the Democrat fundraising platform.
Beaudion had a lower burn rate than Bengs, only spending $41,688.46, leaving him $43,724.94 cash on hand, compared to Bengs ending up with $16k after spending $60k.
The question is whose approach is better? Spending more to get geared up for the campaign, or banking as much as possible? Beaudion will have access to Democrat campaign money from the national level is he can get a credible campaign pulled together by the end of the year… And he may have access to it anyway, “just because” Democrats want to throw rocks at Republican in the majority leader’s own state.
Keep on watching as things develop in the months to come.
