| The only current member of Congress from New York not represented in Robert's chart yesterday was Scott Murphy, the newest member of the delegation. Murphy's report was filed a day later than the rest,
The complete report can be found here, but the short version is this. Murphy raised $325,347 in the third quarter (his first full quarter as an elected representative). He also posted operating expenses of $78,489, leaving him with $501,045 cash on hand.
Those numbers substantially outpace comparable upstate districts such as Eric Massa's and Chris Lee's, and for the entire state runs a narrow fourth place behind Dan Maffei.
The official Murphy press release also made a point of noting that he's now raised over $3 million dollars since the beginning of the special election cycle in February.
It's no doubt good news for Murphy, since signs suggest that semi-vanquished candidate Jim Tedisco is planning to try again for the seat next year.
This comes amid financial disclosure issues for Tedisco relating to the now defunct campaign:
ALBANY-Assemblyman Jim Tedisco's Congressional campaign committee-which was just terminated after his failed bid against Scott Murphy this spring-failed to report more than $110,000 worth of contributions in its quarterly filing just before the election. The filings have since been amended.
