DFL 3rd District congressional candidate Jim Meffert is reporting that he raised $98,113 in the second quarter of 2010.
Meffert's total for the cycle $215,418. That's well behind incumbent Republican Congressman Erik Paulsen, who raised a total of $1.9 million. Paulsen's second quarter take was
$379,862.
Meffert's campaign spokeswoman said his second quarter fundraising was hurt by the lack of a primary opponent. She said supportive donors and PACs are busy defending embattled primary candidates.
