Finally, the FEC report for the numbers we've been talking about for a while...

Short Version: Senator Schauer raised $220,117.88. That's about one and a half times more than Congressman Walberg raised, and Schauer did it in much less time-- just five weeks, instead of a full quarter.

Another powerful item: Combined, David Nacht and Jim Berryman raised about $210,000 in the second quarter. Schauer, all on his own, has raised more.

It's clear that Schauer will be a well-financed challenger if he keeps this up for the next year.

27. Cash On Hand At Close Of The Reporting Period (25 - 26)	196894.36

Schauer's cash-on-hand is about 60 percent of what Walberg has on hand, but that gap should close in future quarters. After all, Walberg's been doing this longer than Schauer has.

You can see the contributors list (PACs, etc. and individuals who contributed over $200) here and the expenditures list here.

Aside from other political committees, I only saw four names that contributed from non-Michigan addresses on my first read. That's certainly better than Tim Walberg's absurdly high amount of out-of-state money.

Some notable contributions include money from state Representative Pam Byrnes (D-Chelsea), $1,000 from Nacht for Congress, two contributions from Nancy Pelosi for Congress (the Speaker's campaign committee), Hoyer for Congress (House Majority Leader), Dingell for Congress, Levin for Congress, and the Granholm Leadership Fund. Lots of institutional support.

Did I miss anything significant?
