DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A review of Gov. Chet Culver's financial disclosure records shows a candidate focused on fundraising who never stopped raising money even in the months after he won election in 2006.
Records from the Iowa Ethics and Campaign Disclosure Board show Culver pulled in $1.1 million in campaign cash in 2007, his first year in office. By the end of 2008, he had $1.5 million in campaign reserves.
Although figures for this year won't be released until January, Culver campaign manager Andrew Roos says fundraising will top levels by any previous Democratic candidate for governor.
