Reichert Numbers a Mistake; Burner Did Better in 3Q

Mike Shields, chief of staff to Congressman Dave Reichert, says he made a mistake in the numbers he gave me last week for Reichert's latest fundraising totals. Shields said he improperly added back into those 3rd quarter totals, money that had to be refunded to donors who had given more than the legal limit.

With those numbers out, Democratic challenger Darcy Burner raised more money than Reichert in recent months and — as already was the case — has more money in the bank than the two-term incumbent. Shields said the correct numbers are included in reports filed with the Federal Election Commission this week. That shows Reichert raised $294,888 in the 3rd quarter, for a total of $766,703 so far this year, leaving $339,460 in the bank.

Burner raised $304,901 in the third quarter. She has raised $518,630 so far this year and has $370,228 in the bank.
