CA-11: McNerney Maintains Fundraising Edge

April 15, 2008

Congressman Jerry McNerney (D-Pleasanton, Calif.) holds a significant lead in fundraising dollars over likely Republican challenger and former Assemblyman Dean Andal. Hank Shaw of the Stockton Record reports:

Stockton Republican Dean Andal added another $90,000 to his campaign kitty during the first three months of 2008, according to campaign finance reports released today. Andal, who wants to oust freshman Rep. Jerry McNerney, D-Pleasanton, this fall, also spent $42,000, so his net is $48k. Andal has $531,000 in his campaign account, which is pretty respectable for this time of year. Interestingly, Andal raised $11,000 of his cash this quarter from contributions smaller than $200 — a nice show of grassroots support.

The campaign of freshman incumbent Rep. McNerney told Shaw, however, that he brought in $329,000 in the first quarter with $51,000 in contributions under $200 with $1.2 million overall.
