| Description | U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole raised $823,000 in the second quarter this year, bringing her 2007 total to $2.6 million, said her political consultant, Mark Stephens.
Dole, a Salisbury Republican, is running for re-election in 2008; no one has declared to run against her yet.
She spent $559,000 in the second quarter, leaving her with $1.76 million in the bank. The second-quarter campaign finance period ended June 30. Senate reports are due to be postmarked today.
Stephens said Dole's drop from the first quarter came in part because the campaign was working on infrastructure, hiring staff and buying equipment. Dole also held fewer fund-raisers and generally was busier in the Senate, focusing especially on trying to block the immigration bill that collapsed in July, he said.
The campaign sent out two direct-mail solicitations, part of Dole's effort to develop a deep base of individual donors. About 12,000 people have given to her so far this year, Stephens said.
"We'll be ramping up a ton in the third quarter," Stephens said. He said Dole plans to hold several fund raisers in the state during the August recess.
A spokesman for Sen. Richard Burr, a Winston-Salem Republican, could not be reached this morning to discuss Burr's campaign finance report. Burr is up for re-election in 2010.
