That cash on hand figure is a little concerning going into the final push. I assume DeFazio raised substantially more early in the campaign. Drop Art a few bucks today!

Most of it is pre-2012 money, the leftovers from the 2010 election.

Republican challenger Art Robinson edged incumbent Peter DeFazio, the Oregon 4th District House Democrat, in third-quarter fundraising, according to the campaigns’ latest filings with the Federal Elections Commission. But DeFazio has a significant advantage when it comes to cash left in the bank three weeks before the election.

Robinson’s campaign reported contributions of close to $370,000 between July and October, while DeFazio brought in around $318,000 over the same period.

However, at the start of the month, DeFazio’s campaign reported having around $622,000 in “cash-on-hand” — or unspent campaign funds — while Robinson’s reported around $115,000.

For the election cycle, which dates back to the start of 2011, both candidates have raised around $1 million, putting them within striking distance of the approximately $1.3 million they each raised in 2010, the first time Robinson challenged longtime incumbent DeFazio for the seat.

As in 2010, however, spending by outside groups could ultimately give Robinson a money edge. Republican Super PAC, Inc. — a political action committee based in Terre Haute, Ind. — started purchasing radio and television ads in support of Robinson in late July. To date, the group has spent close to $280,000 on his behalf.

No groups have yet reported similar independent expenditures on DeFazio’s behalf.
