Baldwin outraises Thompson in Senate race

October 15, 2012 By WRN Contributor

Democrat Tammy Baldwin is leading the money race for Wisconsin’s open US Senate seat. The Madison congresswoman raised almost $4.6 million dollars from July through September, while Republican opponent Tommy Thompson reportedly raised $3.6 million.

Thompson, a former governor, says his war chest went dry soon after he won a hard fought four-way GOP primary in August. Since then, he has raised $2.2 million. Baldwin raised about $3.6 million coming out of the primary, although she was running unopposed for the Democratic nomination.

Baldwin says she had about $3.5 million on hand as of October first, while Thompson had around $2 million.

The so-called “money race” among the candidates is not as important as it used to be, with outside groups now outspending the hopefuls several times over. A recent federal report found outside groups have spent $21 million on the Wisconsin Senate race, making it the second-highest among Senate contests in the country.
