FEC Reports: Hovde spends 145k on ads; Neumann has nearly 800k on hand
Federal Election Commission reports show that U.S. Senate candidate Eric Hovde spent $145,826 on advertisements in the first three weeks of his campaign.
In the early stages of the campaign, Hovde released 60-second radio spots billed as a "conservative wake-up call." He has since released two television ads, one 30-spot ad detailing the nation's debt and a more personally focused 60-second spot.
In all, Hovde's campaign spent $259,584 in the first three weeks of his campaign.
The report also showed that Hovde donated $1.5 million of his own money to the campaign. He also loaned the campaign $250,000.
On another note, Mark Neumann's FEC report shows the candidate with $796,908 in cash on hand at the end of the last quarter. He spent $409,656 and raised $654,541 in the last quarter.
