Sen. Murray: Lobbyists' Second Favorite Senator Behind Reid
A report by Opensecrets.org (the nonpartisan shop in D.C. that crunches Federal Election Commission campaign contribution numbers) released a list of candidates this week showing the top recipients of contributions from lobbyists this election season. UPDATE: Openscecrets goofed. The ranking is based on contributions from 2005-2010—the last term.
U.S. Sen. Patty Murray is No. 2 on the senate side so far, getting $665,950 in contributions from lobbyists. (U.S. Sen. Harry Reid is No. 1 on the list.)
The Seattle Times had a report in July showing that lobbyists were the top group of contributors to Sen. Murray's campaign.
The latest campaign finance reports—covering July, August, and September fundraising—are due this month.
