Brunner spent more than she raised in latest quarter

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Jennifer Brunner spent more than the $147,000 she raised during the most recent quarter that ended Sept. 30 and has less than $112,000 on hand, a report filed with the Federal Elections Commission shows.

Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher, her opponent in the May 2010 primary, reported raising $618,201 during the quarter with nearly $1.6 million cash on hand.

Despite the fundraising difference, Brunner has vowed to make to the ballot.

"There's some rumor-mongering going on that I'm getting out of the race," Brunner told The Dispatch last week. "There are two ways to move ahead: You either run faster or pull someone back, and I prefer to run faster. I will see this thing through to the end."

Asked how she can continue the campaign if she lacks sufficient funding, Brunner, who has replaced her finance team, said, "I can stay in until primary election day (May 4) and hopefully until the general (election on Nov. 2, 2010)."

But Brunner reported raising $147,204 during the quarter while spending $200,759. For the entire cycle so far, she has raised $582,462 and spent $470,565, leaving the $111,896 balance, records show.

The bulk of her donations during the quarter came from individuals, with no support from party groups and minimal backing from political action committees, her report shows.

Both Fisher and Brunner are trailing former U.S. Rep. Rob Portman, the leading candidate for the Republican nomination. Portman reported raising $1.3 million during the third quarter with a balance of $5.14 million as of Sept. 30.

Portman's primary opponent is expected to be Thomas Ganley, a wealthy car-dealership owner from Cleveland. Ganley has said he would use his personal wealth to finance his campaign.

Reports show that Ganley has loaned himself $17,924 so far with contributions of about $26,000. His cash on hand is $22,884, but he spent $104,222 during the quarter, leaving him with outstanding debts of $150,969 so far

Ohio State Secretary, Jennifer Brunner has been served a temporary restraining order to immediately stop early voting registrations in Ohio. It is being claimed that Jennifer Brunner is blocking attempts to properfy verify early voting registrations.

After growing evidence of serious and rampent voter fraud by people and organitions such as ACORN in the State of Ohio, a Federal Judge issued the TRO.

An appeal is being filed. “

IMHO she should not be on the ballot for Senate and then be in the position of counting said ballots! She needs to step down before the election and someone else appointed to her seat until the next election.

What is even funnier is looking at both her and Fisher together they both have raised less than 2 million dollars while Portman has raised over 5 million.

Jennifer Brunner awarded the prestigous (cough...choke) Profile in Courage Award

A series of voting irregularities in several major Ohio counties that use electronic voting systems led newly elected Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner to order that paper ballots be provided to any voter who requested one during the state’s March 2008 presidential primary. Furthermore, after a study of the state’s new electronic voting systems – just two years old and representing millions in public investment – found that the systems made by several major voting machine manufacturers could be compromised, Brunner called for the replacement of all of the state’s electronic voting systems with paper ballots and optical scan technology before the November 2008 presidential election. Brunner’s proposal brought pointed and persistent criticism from partisans around the state; opponents of the move objected to the cost and questioned the necessity of returning to paper ballots. For her political courage and her commitment to ensuring the enfranchisement of every Ohio citizen, Jennifer Brunner is honored with the 2008 Profile in Courage Award.

ACORN has their hand so far up Brunner’s ass they can make her nostrils wiggle.
