Wayne Parker’s pre-primary FEC report is available for public viewing.  He hauled in $111,387 during this reporting period.  Combined with the previous period that gives him a total of $289k raised thus far.  Nearly all his money has come from individuals.

Parker’s campaign has spent $156,781, which leaves him with $131,405 cash on hand.  Most of the spending has been fairly routine: media buys, polling services, campaign t-shirts, etc.

More FEC pre-primary reports should be online in a day or two.  I did notice that Cheryl Baswell Guthrie loaned her campaign $55k on May 19th according to her 48 hour notice.  I wonder how much her pre-primary report will show she loaned her campaign.  I’m guessing $150k total thus far.

Update: I initially pointed out an expense for a $431 Apple iPhone incurred by Wayne Parker’s campaign.  The payment was made to Lisa Parker, Wayne’s wife.  I inaccurately characterized this as a phone for Mrs. Parker when it was simply a reimbursement.  Parker’s campaign manager (Lisa Eyster) left a comment here and followed up with me to clarify that the iPhone was purchased by the campaign to serve as both a campaign phone and camera so that they would not have to purchase a separate digital camera.  They considered the purchase to be a cost savings.  My apologies for any confusion.

• Cheryl Baswell Guthrie has really deep pockets
• I bet he doesn’t give him money this time
• The money situation in AL-05
• Cheryl Baswell Guthrie has really, really deep pockets
• Parker Griffith really does get half his funds from outside Alabama
