Rep. Russ Carnahan (D-Mo.) said he raised $540,000 in the first six months of the year, giving a strong hint that he intends to run for office again despite the loss of his district due to redistricting. Which office he runs for is an open question.
Rather than telling donors what he raised this quarter, Carnahan unconventionally released a number representing the last two quarters.
By subtracting the totals from his the first quarter fundraising report, one can deduce that he raised about $207,000 between April 1 and June 30, giving him $374,000 in cash on-hand.
In an email to supporters, Carnahan said that was “the most I’ve raised in my career at this point in an election cycle.”
Missouri lost one seat in congressional reapportionment, and the Republican legislators who had near-total control the redistricting process targeted Carnahan's district for elimination.
