Williams raises cash but doesn’t spend against Sestak

Williams raises cash but doesn't spend against Sestak Republican Craig Williams raised over $280,000 in the second fundraising quarter for his bid to unseat U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Edgmont), according to campaign finance reports published Tuesday. But facing what is sure to be an uphill battle against a relatively popular incumbent, Williams only spent about $53,000 of his haul.

Sestak, meanwhile, continued to raise money at a solid clip, collecting about $436,000 in the second quarter for his re-election in the 7th Congressional District. He spent $128,000 of that money, and still had $2.59 million in cash on hand at the end of the quarter, one of the higher totals for Congressional incumbents in the area.

Williams' campaign has more than $30,000 in debt. Most of that debt is for administrative salaries and overhead, and most of his campaign spending fell into that category.
