Brad Schneider Down $1.3 Million To Dold

Bad news for Brad Schneider: Q2 fundraising reports reveal that Schneider trails Bob Dold by more than $1.3 million in the race for IL-10. Despite full support from Nancy Pelosi, Schneider ended the reporting period with just $969,000 in cash on hand to Dold’s $2,300,000.

Key Stat: Schneider is nearly a million dollars behind where he was this time in 2014, an election he lost.

2014 July Report: COH: $1,903,729.22
2016 July Report: COH: $969,008.57

With Chicago’s incredibly pricey media market, Schneider’s cash crunch means he is way behind where he needs to be if he hopes to compete with a well-financed and popular incumbent in Bob Dold.

NRCC Comment: “Brad Schneider’s $1.3 million fundraising deficit again shows how 10^th District voters have moved on from Schenider’s ineffective and partisan record. While Schneider struggles, Dold continues to receive broad support and build an impressive reelection war chest.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Hunter
