Roth On Fundraising Roll, Report Shows
Oklahoma Corporation Commissioner Jim Roth raised more than $500,000 for his election campaign in the second quarter. That put him far ahead of his two Republican opponents, Ethics Commission reports show.
Roth, a Democrat, was appointed to fill the unexpired two years of Denise Bode's term when she resigned.
His reports show he has raised a total of about $790,000, including $537,193 from April 1 to July 14.
He reported he's spent $115,000 in the last three months and has total expenditures of $181,000. That leaves him with $589,000 cash on hand.
State Rep. Rob Johnson and Dana Murphy, a former administrative law judge, seek the Republican nomination.
Johnson reported he raised more than $116,000 during the last quarter and a total of nearly $225,000 for his campaign. He reported he's spent about $222,000 over the last three months, including $143,000 on television advertising. He has about $146,000 cash on hand.
Murphy reported she raised about $108,000, including a $10,000 personal loan, bringing her total amount raised to $257,000. Murphy also reported receiving $2,500 in last-minute contributions that came in after the reporting deadline. Murphy reported she's spent $196,000 since April 1, including about $170,000 on television and radio advertising. She reported spending nearly $210,000 total on her campaign, leaving her with about $35,000 cash on hand.
Another seat on the Corporation Commission, currently held by Republican Jeff Cloud, also is up for re-election for a full six-year term. Cloud will face Democratic challenger Charles Gray, a former state House member, in the general election in November. Neither candidate drew a primary opponent.
Cloud reported he's raised about $287,000 since April 1. He reported transferring only $2,700 from his previous House campaign. He also reported spending almost $50,000 on campaign activity, leaving him with about $240,000 cash on hand.
Gray's contributions and expenditure report has not yet been posted on the Ethics Commission's site.
