Eldridge will report having raised $528G since October
Jordan Carleo-Evangelist, Staff Writer
Sean Eldridge, U.S. Rep. Chris Gibson’s Democratic challenger in the 19th Congressional District, will report having raised more than $528,000 since October in his year-end filing to the Federal Elections Commission, his campaign said.
Eldridge’s fundraising total includes $250,000 in matching contributions of his own money, giving the Ulster County investor more than $1.2 million on hand as the fourth quarter of 2013 came to a close.
Gibson, a two-term incumbent from Kinderhook, will report having about $863,000 on hand, his spokeswoman said Thursday.
The $279,000 that Eldridge’s campaign says he raised from individual contributors eclipses Gibson’s $269,000 fourth-quarter haul, a reversal form the third quarter, in which Gibson would have raised more than Eldridge were it not for Eldridge’s infusion of his own money.
