CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- New filings show Gov. Joe Manchin's U.S. Senate campaign continued to raise hefty amounts in the days before last week's special primary election.
Federal Election Commission reports posted online this week show the Democratic nominee attracted nearly $146,000 on Aug. 25. That was the final day for Senate candidates to disclose contributions within 48 hours of receiving them.
Manchin raised at least $393,000 that week, hiking his campaign total above $1.5 million. Last week's donors include executives and the political action committees of the PGA Tour and CONSOL Energy. Coal, utility and other interests in Alabama provided around $95,000 of the week's haul.
PACs for the American Medical Association, Chesapeake Energy and several labor unions, including the American Federation of Teachers and the United Auto Workers, also gave to Manchin during that time.
Available FEC reports list $22,400 contributed to Republican nominee John Raese last week. The industrialist and media owner had provided $520,000 of the $717,400 his campaign reported raising as of Aug. 25.
Barring any further postings of 48-hour disclosures, the next round of reports are due in mid-October. Those reports will also detail spending. Pre-primary filings showed that as of Aug. 8, Manchin had spent $35,448 and Raese, $140,683.
No FEC filings were available for Mountain Party nominee Jesse Johnson. Raising or spending more than $5,000 triggers reporting.
