Q2: Congressional Breakdown 2016

moneyWith all FEC reports now in, we take a look at the results for every congressional district.

2016’s second quarter runs from April 7th, 2016 to June 30th, 2016.

Below we’ve included the top-line numbers for every district in the commonwealth, which includes the amounts raised, spent, and current cash on hand. Also, each incumbent is identified in italics along with their PVI and the year they were first sworn into Congress.

The Philly Dem made some significant contributions to other members of his party. For instance, the Chester Democratic Party got $10,000 and Steve Santarsiero received $2,000. Perhaps the most intriguing donation, considering this Philly Mag piece, is his $2,000 gift to NJ Rep. Donald Norcross.

PA-2

Rep. Chaka Fattah-D+38-1995

  1. Nick, where are the reports for challengers in PA-15 Daugherty and PA-17 Connolly?

  2. “Contrary to initial reports, Santarsiero finished just behind Fitzpatrick instead of ahead.”

    Ummm… he wasn’t even close. Santarsiero netted $90K, while Fitzpatrick netted $277K. Who cares how much money you blow on fundraisers attended predominately by committeepeople? If you spend $49 dollars a plate for a $50 per head fundraiser, you’re not really fundraising at that point.
