So the following email came in a few hours ago, and after glancing at it, I realized something: these numbers (if accurate) may provide a fairly good idea as to how much Nunn will bring in in Q2. I was hoping some others would scrounge through their own recent emails from Senate candidates (or keep an eye out in the coming days) for any fundraising emails that provide goals or list current amounts raised for the quarter through one source or another.

Just for simplicity's sake, we'll assume that "small donations" are equivalent to unitemized contributions, and that 90% of unitemized contributions are coming via online sources. Nunn raised $829,000 in unitemized contributions in Q2. I'd say meeting their outlined goal is realistic, and I'd also assume that the pace of itemized contributions and PAC money has at least kept up with the rate of growth of unitemized contributions (1.47x the amount in Q2). In summary, this would give us roughly $5,070,000 for Q3.



Also, I got curious and looked up Senate Democratic/independent candidates' Q2 filings:

MN - Franken: $4.23 mil
KY - Grimes: $4.05 mil
NC - Hagan: $3.93 mil
NH - Shaheen: $3.88 mil
GA - Nunn: $3.45 mil
CO - Udall: $3.11 mil
LA - Landrieu: $2.72 mil
VA - Warner: $2.72 mil
MI - Peters: $2.17 mil
OR - Merkley: $1.81 mil
IA - Braley: $1.64 mil
NJ - Booker: $1.63 mil
MA - Markey: $1.61 mil
IL - Durbin: $1.52 mil
AR - Pryor: $1.51 mil
MT - Walsh: $1.25 mil
HI - Schatz: $0.90 mil
NM - Udall: $0.89 mil
DE - Coons: $0.81 mil
WV - Tennant: $0.78 mil
KS - Orman: $0.67 mil
ME - Bellows: $0.56 mil
RI - Reed: $0.56 mil
TN - Ball: $0.45 mil
SD - Weiland: $0.35 mil
NE - Domina: $0.33 mil
TX - Alameel: $0.28 mil
SC - Hutto: $0.23 mil
MS - Childers: $0.12 mil
ID - Mitchell: $0.08 mil
OK - Silverstein: $0.05 mil
OK - Johnson: $0.04 mil
SC - Dickerson: $0.02 mil
WY - Hardy: $0.02 mil

Total: $48.37 mil
