Wow — Eric Johnson raised over $465,000.00 and Shafer only $85,000.00.
That’s a big difference.
Except it is not.
If you look at Eric Johnson’s Senate account, he had ~$450,000.00 in it, gave refunds to everyone, and they all reallocated to his Lt. Gov. account. Digging into it, it looks like he really only raised about $30,000.00 in new money.
Shafer also has about $450,000.00 in his Senate account and has not transferred any over. So it actually appears Shafer raised more new money that Johnson.
Were he to reallocated his Senate account to his Lt. Gov. account, he’d be ahead of the pack and have about $100,000.00 more cash on hand.
UPDATE: Having written this at midnight after the championship game, Icarus points out in the comments more precise numbers:
Doing the math, Johnson raised a mere $44K in “new” money while
racking up $17K in debts. When you add the $11K leftover in his
senate campaign fund, Johnson has net a balance of $470K as the year
ended..
Shafer’s net balance as of the same date was $551K — an $82K
advantage. Shafer also raised $85K in new money — twice what Johnson raised in half the time.

So with an homage to Lee Corso, Not So Fast My Friends.
(Let it now be said that college football is closed. The right conference but the wrong team has the national championship again this year)
