Cheney Exaggerated Her Campaign Fundraising

February 7, 2014 · 10:30 am ET · Leave a Comment

National Journal: “Despite telling reporters that she raised $1 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, Liz Cheney’s Wyoming Senate campaign actually pulled in far less than that total and spent more than she raised during that time. The daughter of former President Dick Cheney dropped out of the race just days after the end of the fundraising period.”

“Cheney raised just under $720,000 in the fourth quarter of 2013, but her campaign spent more than $900,000, FEC reports show. That profilgate spending was more than any other non-incumbent Senate candidate spent in the fourth quarter, and it explains why she ended the quarter with $183,000 less in the bank that she began it.”
