Lord takes in $235K in 2Q

[img_assist|nid=1619|title=Congressional candidate Bob Lord|desc=Campaign photo|link=none|align=left|width=250|height=208]3rd Congressional District candidate Bob Lord reportedly took in over $235,000 in the second quarter of the year, bumping his on hand total to about $706,000, according to his campaign.

"Bob Lord now has raised 10 times more than any other candidate who has ever challenged Rep. John Shadegg in Arizona's 3rd District," read a campaign press release announcing the figures.

Last quarter, Lord outraised incumbent U.S. Rep. John Shadegg (R-Phoenix) by close to $70,000, which took both the Democratic and Republican leadership by surprise. Lord's 1Q total was $220,000, making 2Q his best to date, and the fifth consecutive quarter in which Lord has increased his fundraising totals.

Obviously, though, money is going out the door as well. Despite a record-breaking three month fundraising period, Lord ended the second quarter with only around $70,000 more than he started it with, meaning that $165,000 of Lord's April-through-June take was spent over that same period.
