Idaho Gov. Butch Otter today reported raising $752,000 in campaign funds in the past four months, while his Democratic challenger, Keith Allred, raised $372,500. With both candidates spending heavily on advertising as the campaign season hits its peak, Otter reported $211,634 in cash on hand at the close of the period on Sept. 30, while Allred reported $102,072.

Otter's campaign said he has another $67,200 in contributions already committed, but not yet paid. "This has been an incredible quarter for my campaign," Otter said in a statement. "We not only raised a significant amount of money, but the momentum going forward is extremely high." Allred had actually outraised Otter, the incumbent Republican who's seeking a second term, in the previous two reporting periods, but Otter turned that around in the most recent period, which ran from June 5 through Sept. 30.

Year to date, Otter's raised $1.04 million and spent $1.34 million, but he also carried over $316,718 from the previous year. Allred, year to date, has raised $732,640 and spent $757,532; he carried over $126,963 from the previous year. Neither candidate reported any debt; you can read my full story here at spokesman.com.
