With a starting balance of $2.1 Million, Noem added $619,372 to that total, spending $1.73 million.
And now goes into the last two weeks of the election with $1,015,447.07 Cash on hand.
That might buy a couple of commercials.
Impressive report. This fundraising caused the Jackley campaign to come out with the press release that they raised a higher percent in state. I think it’s a pretty good bet that they were brimming with confidence that they outraised her this period. I don’t care where it’s from, Noem outperformed.
And to say she should have this race locked is more political spin. Jackley had been US Attorney and now AG for 10 years – far more years as a public official and in the press than Noem.
The point is this is a close race and should have been expected to be close from the very beginning.
