Gary Trauner, Democratic candidate for U.S. House, has raised more than $1 million so far in the election cycle and will carry more than $660,000 into the general election.

The Wilson businessman is running unopposed for his party’s nomination. Wyoming’s lone U.S. House seat is held by Republican Rep. Barbara Cubin, who is not seeking re-election. Trauner raised about $875,000 when he narrowly lost the 2006 election to Cubin.

Trauner said the totals show his message is resonating with Wyoming voters

“The grassroots is excited about my race,” he said. “We have orders of magnitude more Wyoming contributors than the entire other side combined, so clearly people believe in what we are trying to do.”

Trauner’s contributions from valley supporters were too numerous to list. Major contributions from political action committees and corporations in the last month included Committee for a Livable Future, Ironworkers Political Action League, the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades, Laborer’s Political League, Sheet Metal Workers’ International Association, and The NEA Fund For Children and Public Education.

In the month before the primary election, Trauner has spent money primarily on travel. When contacted Friday, he was returning from visiting all 23 county fairs in the state.

Republican candidate Cynthia Lummis infused her campaign with an additional $50,000 in personal funds Aug. 4, after filing her pre-primary campaign finance report. Lummis detailed the donation in an addendum to that report. Lummis raised about $110,000 in the last month, including her own contributions, and about $480,000 for the election cycle. She carries about $220,000 into the final week of the race for the Republican nomination.

Recent major contributors from Jackson Hole included Richard Sugden, Bill Newton, Robert Dellenback, Johnnie Burton, a former head of the federal Minerals Management Service, and Ed Cheramy.

Major contributions from political action committees and corporations recently included the Realtors PAC, Freeport-McMoran Copper & Gold Inc., Political Action by Coors Employees, the Questar Employee PAC, Rio Tinto America Inc. PAC, and The Williams Companies PAC.

Republican Mark Gordon of Buffalo kicked an additional $60,000 into his campaign Wednesday, according to an addendum filed with the Federal Election Commission, bringing his total contributions to his campaign to almost $1.1 million. Gordon has raised about $1.2 million and is carrying a little less than $200,000 into the final week of the primary.

Major valley contributors to Gordon’s campaign in the last month were Jacqueline Montgomery, Michael Hammer and Terry Winchell.

Gordon did not report receiving any money from political action committees or corporations in the last month.

Both Gordon and Lummis have spent money on campaign staff and polling, but most of their campaign funds in the last month have been focused on increasingly negative television ads questioning the voting records and allegiances of both candidates.

Lummis also appears to have brought Bill Cubin, son of Barbara Cubin, on board her campaign staff in the last three months, making monthly payments of $1,500 in May, June and July to WJRW Consulting for services as a “general campaign advisor.” The address of the firm matches the address listed for Bill Cubin in a directory for the Wyoming Republican Party’s Central Committee. Early in her campaign, Lummis sought to distance herself from Barbara Cubin after the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee leveled a charge that Lummis was “Cubin 2.0.”

Republican Bill Winney of Bondurant raised about $3,500 in the last month and heads into the week before the primary with about $60,000 on hand.

Republican Michael Holland has never filed a financial report, which means he has not raised more than the threshold of $5,000.
