Schneider, Dold Raise Over $300,000 Each

Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Deerfield) and his only announced opponent, former Rep. Robert Dold (R-Kenilworth), both reported raising more than $300,000 for their 2014 rematch of a close and hotly contested 2012 campaign.

Schneider raised $365,000 for the quarter ended Sept. 30 and now has $769,000 in the bank, according to a campaign spokesperson. Dold accumulated $318,000 for the same period and now has $819,000 on hand, according to a report in Roll Call.

This is the first financial reporting period where Schneider has brought in more than Dold.

Dold defeated Democrat Dan Seals in 2010 to succeed now Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Highland Park). Schneider defeated him two years later. Dold decided to regain the seat in a rematch against Schneider in May.
