I just finished uploading the latest campaign finance data to OhioMoneyTree.org.

Unfortunately, it looks like the Republicans are kicking our ass at raising money.

Here are the top fund-raising committees ranked by total contributions so far for 2007:

Committee Name Contrib Count Total Contribs
Ohio House Republican Campaign Committee 237 $1,927,072
Republican Senate Campaign Committee 274 $1,336,428
Husted For Ohio 587 $771,890
Ohio Republican Party Orp 100 $753,669
Ohio Democratic Party 302 $658,925
House Democratic Caucus Fund 2,043 $593,805
Dann For Ohio Committee 744 $573,188
Ohio Democratic Party State Candidate 114 $504,057

And HERE are the top Republican donors so far for 2007:

  • Carl Lindner $381,005
  • David L Brennan $128,500
  • Edyth Lindner $100,000
  • James Dicke Sr $100,000

Thanks for this. Very interesting. How exactly does the ODP or anyone for that matter expect Democrats to get a majority in the statehouse with this funding pattern?

Good point Jill. I thought about including a quick description of the top donors but kind of figured people knew the big players.

It is a good idea for a post though, and I’ll put something together tonight if I get the time.
