Has Fallin Topped $1.5 Million?

With new Federal Election Commission reports due to be filed in the next three days, there's word today that Lt. Governor Mary Fallin has now raised about $1.5 million in her race with Dr. David Hunter for the 5th District seat in Congress.

Fallin's last report, in August, showed at that time she had raised $1,035,811. Thus, if she is indeed near $1.5 million now, she's boosted her total by almost a third since defeating Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett in their August primary runoff.

Her last report showed Fallin had $158,895 on hand; The McCarville Report Online is told the new report will show she has about $250,000 on hand with television, radio and other media advertising essentially all placed and paid for.

Fallin's campaign for Congress has benefitted from her years in statewide office; many of her donors are those around the state who have supported her in previous races for lieutenant governor.
