Ohio Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher (D) raised less than half as much as former Rep. Rob Potman's (R-Ohio) $1.3 million in the third quarter, his Senate campaign just announced.Fisher's $620,000 quarter comes after he raised around $1 million in each of the last two.
Fisher's primary opponent, Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner (D), has undergone her own fundraising troubles, raising less than half a million dollars through six months and reorganizing her finance team recently. She has yet to announce her third quarter totals, but they are not expected to be strong.
While Fisher has already built a big lead over her, he probably could have put the nail in Brunner's coffin with a strong quarter.
Portman now has $5.1 million cash on hand, which is three times more than Fisher's $1.6 million.
