The Hill: Fundraising Reports to Watch Include Hanabusa’s

By /
The Hill reports that five campaign fundraising reports to watch include that of Rep. Colleen Hanabusa, who is running for the U.S. Senate:

This may be the only race in the country where the incumbent — appointed Sen. Brian Schatz —isn’t a solid favorite to win his party’s nomination. In office since late December, Schatz outraised the second-term Hanabusa by $400,000 in the second quarter.

Hanabusa formally announced her campaign in early May, so this was her first full reporting quarter as a Senate candidate. As the incumbent, Schatz has the fundraising resources of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee at his disposal, while Hanabusa has the backing of EMILY’s List.
