Stewart Mills, the “Fleet Farm” owner and candidate for the CD8 House seat that’s changed hands twice since 2010, is putting up some righteous fundraising numbers<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Republican Stewart Mills III of Nisswa formally declared his candidacy for 8th district congress just last week, but came out strong Tuesday, releasing a third quarter fundraising report reflecting contributions nearly double the amount raised by DFL Rep. Rick Nolan of Crosby. Mills raised $243,826 for his bid to unseat the incumbant, while Nolan posted receipts of just $129,472, falling short of his second quarter total of $134,764 despite a strong last minute push from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Steve Israel and the DCCC just before the fundraising deadline of Sep. 30.<\/p>\n

Nolan received slightly more unitemized individual contributions, reporting $19,497 to Mills\u2019 $19,198, but Mills trounced Nolan in itemized individual contributions, both in number of donors and in dollar amounts. Mills racked up contributions of $218,128 compared to just $48,075 for Nolan. Analysis of individual contributions reveals that Mills raised more money from inside the 8th district, while Nolan raised the bulk of his money from donors outside Minnesota.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And only about $5,000 of Mills’ total is self-financed, so far.<\/p>\n

This is going to be a long, expensive campaign. \u00a0Both sides are targeting it. \u00a0But so far, Mills is rocking the phones – and it’s getting noticed<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
