Today we’re excited to announce that our campaign raised more than $427,000 in the second quarter, which breaks the previous fundraising record we set earlier this year. Combined with the last three quarters when Sen. Schauer outraised incumbent Tim Walberg, we have brought in more than $1.33 million and have more than $928,000 cash on hand.

In this quarter alone, the campaign collected more than 1,100 total contributions, with more than 83 percent of individual contributions from donors in Michigan. With just over 100 days to go before the general election, we have now raised more than our opponent brought in during the entire 2006 election cycle.

Congressman Walberg has done nothing to improve Michigan’s job climate since taking office, but we fully expect him to do whatever it takes to keep his seat in Washington. That’s why it’s so important for us to keep working hard to defend against the impending negative attacks from Walberg’s wealthy donors.

Thanks to everyone in the netroots community for your continued support!

Update: Here are Tim Walberg's numbers for the second quarter. We have now out-raised the incumbent Congressman four quarters in a row...

Raised for the Quarter: $364,924
Total Raised this Cycle: $1,208,345
Spent this Quarter: $114,253
Cash on Hand: $855,137

Update #2: We wanted to share a few more quotes from Deb Price's post on the Detroit News blog...

David Wasserman, the House analyst for the Cook Political Report, said, "Walberg continues to be in grave danger of losing his seat."

Wasserman said Walberg hasn't been able to "remedy the image he has as an ideologue."

Wasserman said about 95 percent of incumbents are considered safe this year, "but this is part of the 5 percent we're keeping an eye on."
