Democrat Keith Allred raised more money in his campaign for governor in the beginning of 2010 than incumbent Republican Gov. Butch Otter, though Otter has more cash on hand and has received several large gifts since the May 9 reporting period. The governor also limited his fundraising activity while the Legislature was in session.
Allred raised $241,000 from January 1 to May 9, while Otter raised $193,000, according to paperwork filed with the Idaho secretary of state. The next biggest fundraiser in the governor’s race was Rex Rammell with $55,000. Otter started the year out with more money than any of his opponents and still has more money left to spend on the primary and general election. He had $201,000 cash on hand as of May 9, while Allred had $130,000.
“The numbers add up to one thing,” Allred said in a news release. “We are picking up momentum and are right where we want to be.” Allred has raised more during the primary race than Democrat Jerry Brady did four years ago in his unsuccessful run for governor.
