WILL KELLY RUN?

posted by Christopher Conover

Campaign finance reports are due to the Federal Elections Commission by the end of the week, so numbers are just starting to trickle in. While most political junkies keep an eye on who is raising money attention is also paid to who isn’t raising money.

In January, Jesse Kelly who challenged Gabrielle Giffords last year was rumored to be on the cusp of announcing another run…but so far that announcement hasn’t come. And despite the fact that Kelly has an active campaign account for a 20-12 congressional run, in the last quarter he raised no money. Kelly is the only active candidate in either Congressional District 7 or 8 to file a report at this point.

Election Day for the US Senate and House is still more than a year off, but candidates are starting to line up their finances. Rep. Jeff Flake (R) who is running for the US Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Jon Kyl (R) has banked $ 2 million so far. According to his campaign that is an addition of more than $800 thousand to his coffers in the last quarter. Campaign finance reports are due to the Federal Elections Commission by the end of the week.
