| Description | Washington, D.C. – A Democratic challenger in central Iowa filed a campaign finance report today showing he has raised $171,618 in his bid to unseat U.S. Rep. Leonard Boswell, a Des Moines Democrat.
Ed Fallon, a Des Moines Democrat and former state legislator, said in Federal Election Commission documents that all of the contributions, collected between Jan. 1 and March 31, came from individuals.
Fallon has been highly critical of Boswell for collecting 74 percent of his campaign money from political action committees last year, while Boswell and his supporters have pointed out that Fallon benefits from organizations such as Democracy for America that direct contributions to campaigns via the Internet.
Fallon said in the FEC report that he spent $151,885 and has about $19,700 cash left in the bank.
Aides to Boswell said that he raised about $260,000 during the first quarter of the year. Of that sum, close to $141,000 came from individuals, or about 54 percent. The rest, about 46 percent, came from political action committees, a marked decrease in reliance on PACs for Boswell compared to 2007. |
