WASHINGTON — The campaign fundraising battle continues in what should be Nebraska’s marquee race this fall.

Rep. Lee Terry, R-Neb., has socked away more in campaign funds than he ever has by this point in an election cycle — with $787,044 in the bank, according to Federal Election Commission reports filed this week. He’s raised $272,133 since April 22.

Democratic challenger Tom White, a state senator from Omaha, has raised $118,815 since April 22 and now has $532,333 in the bank. The White campaign also reported $54,536 in debt, most of which is a year-old loan that White made to the campaign.

Terry campaign manager David Boomer said the money Terry has in-hand positions him well for a full-court press of mailings, TV ads and radio spots.

Boomer also said the numbers show the congressman has the momentum — with his fundraising on the upswing, more new donors than White in recent months and a widening gap between the two campaigns’ cash on hand.

As the campaigns prepare to enter the final 100 days, Boomer said White’s campaign is “stalling.”
