FEC 1st Q Summary Page
Year End '06  |  1st Q'07  |  2nd Q'07  |  3rd Q'07 

The figures on this page do include general election funds raised by some of the campaigns (see notes).
Below are figures from reports amended through July 14, 2007.  Figures which have changed from initial filings in yellow shading.  Generally, changes between intial and amended filings are not too great, sometimes less than a dollar, sometimes in the tens of thousands of dollars.  There was one change which proved noteworthy in view of subsequent events.  McCain's initial filing showed disbursements of $8,379,214.68 and cash on hand of $5,180,799.06.  His amended filing July 14 showed disbursements of $8,854,973.33 and cash on hand of $4,705,041.21.  Also, of note, in the intial filings for instances where a candidate made a personal loan to his or her campaign there was some inconsistency whether that was reported as a debt; in later amended filings these are included in debts.

The Top Line (Primary and General): 
20 candidates reported $132.6 million in contributions (of which $11.6 million for the general election), $155.1 million in receipts, $49.2 million in disbursements and closing COH of $107.8 million.
