Kagen's Fundraising So Far

OpenSecrets.org has some great details on campaign fundraising, including for the 2009-2010 cycle. For those of us here in WI-8 the totals as of 3/31/09 are as follows:

• Representative Steve Kagen (D) has raised $231,780
• Candidate Marc Savard (R) has raised $6,550

I realize that our system is tilted in favor of incumbents generally speaking, but this seems like an enormous advantage to me.

On the other hand, it is still quite early and Kagen is also reporting just over $600k in debt.

OpenSecrets has a good level of detail on the data if you want to take a deeper look. Check it out.

Update: That $600k debt link was wrong. It should be fixed now.
