Feingold outraises Johnson over past 3 months in Senate race

MADISON — Democrat Russ Feingold raised about $1 million more than incumbent U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson during the three month period ending in September, the first full quarter where Feingold was an announced candidate.

Both Johnson and Feingold's campaigns released summaries of their detailed spending reports that were due to be filed with the Federal Elections Commission on Thursday.

Both candidates report having roughly the same amount of cash on hand about a year before the election. The Republican Johnson says he ended September with $3.5 million, while Feingold had $3.4 million.

But Feingold raised $2.4 million between July and September, while Johnson brought in $1.4 million.

Johnson campaign spokesman Brian Reisinger says Johnson did not contribute any of his own money to the campaign over that period.
