Tyberg has filed with the FEC

A spot check of the FEC website today showed that Jeff Tyberg crossed the $5,000 threshold, presumably in April. The FEC preparer signed off on the mailed-in rather than electronically filed report on June 27th (last week), and we assume it was posted on their website sometime mid-last week.

Here's the analysis:

Total Raised - $9503, including $443 from Tyberg.
Total Spent - $8154
Cash on Hand as of June 15 - $1348
  • 6 people in the 7th District wrote Tyberg checks for more than $200 (the amount required to be itemized by the FEC) in the 1 year he has been running for Congress.
  • He did not file a disclosure of where the $8185 went, so we don't know what he spent it on other than his website, yard signs and some handouts we've seen.
The next round of FEC reports will probably start coming out by next Friday. Since Tyberg doesn't file electronically, we will probably have Obey and Reid's first. We are going to publish info on them as we get them.

It took him over a year to raise $5,000. At that pace he'd get to where Reid was at the end of April in about 6 more years. I like Jeff, but that's an embarassing amount to have raised. Unless he raised about $50,000 the last two weeks of June, I think it's time to endorse Reid.

6 people!!! Wow, I guess Jeff is right when he says his campaign is picking up steam, he averages less than one donor every month. Is there a single non emotional argument for Jeff?

My prediction for as of June 30th. Tyberg's cash on hand will not top $2,000, with total contributions less than $12,000. I don't know what Reid will have, but I'd be willing to bet it should be enough for someone with an ounce of commonsense to realize he has no chance. Robinson reached that amount a lot earlier than Tyberg and he dropped out.

Are you kidding me!!! I don't think we should waste our time with conversations like these any more. Jeff isn't going to drop out and he has no chance. Let's focus on November and what we can do to get Nick elected.
I BEG anyone who supports Jeff to give a rational explanation of why we should support him. Jeff has been challenged to this before and we have received no response. When you get back to Wisconsin, let us all know.
