U. S. Sen. Mark Pryor, who has instructed his fundraisers to no longer solicit funds for his reelection this year, raised $ 150, 873 in the three-month period that ended Sept. 30, according to his latest Federal Election Commission report.
That increased the Little Rock Democrat’s total contributions to $ 5. 55 million.
Pryor faces no Republican opposition in his bid for a second six-year term this year. A report for Green Party candidate Rebekah Kennedy of Greenbrier wasn’t available Wednesday.
For the quarter, Pryor listed expenses at $ 650, 226, raising his total expenses to $ 2. 58 million, leaving him with $ 2. 65 million on Sept. 30.
In 2002 he raised $ 4. 4 million in unseating Tim Hutchinson, who raised $ 5. 1 million. The one candidate record in Arkansas is Gov. Mike Beebe’s $ 6. 5 million in 2006.
