John Merrill Releases Third Quarter Fundraising Numbers
Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill, who is running in the Republican U.S Senate primary to have the opportunity to challenge current Alabama U.S. Senator Doug Jones in the 2020 general election, reported the results of his fundraising efforts for the third quarter of the 2019 election cycle.
In his Federal Election Commission (FEC) quarterly filing report, Merrill’s campaign reported that they raised $377,500 dollars. That brought his total for this election cycle to $595,082 overall. The campaign also reported that they have $738,430 cash-on-hand with $250,000 in outstanding debt obligations for the campaign.
In a recent poll released by ALFA, Secretary Merrill came in fourth place with 8% support of the voters responding, which is within the margin of error for second place. In that poll, Tommy Tuberville came in first with the support of 36% of respondents. Former Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court Roy Moore came in with the support of 15%. U.S. Representative from Alabama’s First Congressional District Bradley Byrne had the support of 13%.
The Republican primary is March 3, 2020.
