Monique DeSpain raised more than Rep. Val Hoyle between April 30 and June 30, though Hoyle raised more over the full quarter. The article compares fundraising across Oregon’s congressional races.
Federal Election Commission reports showed DeSpain raised nearly $192,000 from April 30 to June 30, $15,500 more than Hoyle. Nearly half of DeSpain’s haul came from a personal loan or money transferred from a political action committee she controls. The article clarifies that this reporting period did not cover the full second quarter; Hoyle raised more over the full quarter described in the report.
The article also reports fundraising and spending totals for candidates in other Oregon congressional races. Janelle Bynum raised the most during the period, while fundraising varied widely among other incumbents and challengers.
