Senate challenger Schiff scores out of state
Fellner, a professional poker player, contributed $750 on the very day that Schiff launched an exploratory committee last July 9. Since then, Schiff has been relying overwhelmingly on out-of-state supporters to finance his campaign.
Through May 1, $9.40 out of every $10 contributed to Schiff came from out-of-staters, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a watchdog group that tracks political fundraising and spending.
It is unusual to see challengers and newcomers such as Schiff raise such a large percentage of out-of-state money. However, Schiff had a national following as an investment adviser, best-selling author and television commentator before becoming a Senate candidate— a point that a campaign spokeswoman emphasized.
Schiff is challenging Linda McMahon, the former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment Inc., for the Republican nomination.
He is trailing in the polls and campaign spending. McMahon is financing her Senate run out-of-pocket. Through May 1, she had shelled out approximately $16 million, and she has said she is willing to spend $50 million on the race.
The primary winner will face Attorney General Richard Blumenthal in the general election.
