Friday is the deadline for federal candidates to file year-end fundraising reports, and we'll compile numbers for all of the big races here.
Senate
Republican businessman David Perdue continued to pump money into his candidacy, but his support from others faded considerably in the fourth quarter: Perdue reported $243,000 in donations -- plus a $500,000 self-loan. In the past he's handed out well more in in-kind donations, and we're not sure at this point how much of the $243,000 came from his own pocket, as his campaign passed along only the topline numbers. Perdue spent $335,000 and finished the year with $1.76 million in the bank.
Rep. Paul Broun, R-Athens, stepped up his spending but not his fundraising in the fourth quarter: He raised $241,000 and spent more than $505,000, leaving him with $187,000 in the bank at year's end.
Former secretary of state Karen Handel added another $168,000 to her tally, but spent almost that month in the fourth quarter. She's left with about $328,000 in her campaign coffers.
Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-Marietta, brings up the rear in the top tier in the fourth quarter with $137,000 raised, $364,000 spent, but a still robust $2.3 million in the bank.
We already told you about Savannah GOP Rep. Jack Kingston's figures -- he touted them early this month -- but they bear repeating: $880,000 raised, $3.4 million on hand.
Democrat Michelle Nunn already announced a $1.6 million haul.
The Democratic Party of Georgia
State Democrats, whose bank account once hovered around $15,000, reported raising more than $181,000 during the month of December. They ended the year with more than $216,000 in cash on hand in federal accounts. In all, the party said it has more than $404,000 cash on hand.
