8th Cong. District Financing Reports
While media outlets have not hesitated to report on the delayed and forgotten finance filings of GOP Senate candidates, those absent in the 8th CD Republican primary have gone largely unnoticed. Only Larry Bucshon has filed the necessary finance reports by Thursday’s deadline, which means fellow challengers John Lee Smith and Kristi Risk are either under the $5,000 threshold or violating federal law. Thus far no media outlets, including the Courier & Press, have reported this ongoing lapse by Smith and Risk.
At the close of the first quarter in 2010, Larry Bucshon had raised a total of $244,982 and had $163,482 on hand. Meanwhile Bucshon’s likely opponent in November, Trent Van Haaften, raised $165,904 and had $145,765 on hand.
Bucshon is clearly in the driver’s seat in terms of money raised, cash on hand, and name ID. Moreover, he will likely stand to net waves of additional support from traditional Republican sources when the primary battle wraps up. As a newcomer to the political process Bucshon has had a steep learning curve, but these latest finance reports suggest that he’s meeting that challenge admirably and will be a formidable opponent to Van Haaften.

Just out of curiosity, why does the post mention Risk and Smith being in non-compliance, but not any of the other 5 8th District candidates?

Actually, Dan Stockton filed his report even though he only has $1,500.
Kristi Risk and John Lee Smith are the only other serious contenders besides Buschon.
People need to wake up and realize that if Kristi Risk or John Lee Smith win the Primary we have failed at taking a congressional seat away from the Dems.
Kristi and John are clueless on campaigns and life in general.

Your post is inaccurate because you’re failing to realize there’s a difference between personal financial disclosures and campaign finance reports.
The personal financial disclosures were due April 4; to complete those forms, candidates have to list their personal sources of income, etc. Those aren’t available online.
The campaign finance reports were due April 15. If they’re not online yet, it doesn’t mean the candidates didn’t turn them in. It means the FEC simply hasn’t processed them and posted them online yet. If you check the Senate race, for example, you’ll see that their campaign finance reports for the last quarter aren’t online yet, either. Check back in a few days, and you’ll see that the reports were submitted on time and the holdup is just because it takes a little time for the FEC to process them all.

Your comment is inaccurate. The campaign finance reports were due electronically on April 15th and are posted immediately thereafter.

Why, then, is Dan Coats’ campaign finance report not yet online, even though his report was filed and his numbers are widely known?
