“The campaign cash amassed by Democrats Robert Shamansky and Mary Jo Kilroy still pales in comparison with the amount that’s available to their GOP rivals, Reps. Pat Tiberi and Deborah Pryce.

Shamansky will report to the Federal Election Commission by this weekend’s deadline that he raised about $68,600 for the quarter that ended June 30. But he also opened up his own checkbook to the tune of $250,000, leaving him with about $262,000 on hand, his campaign said yesterday.
***
Kilroy raised more than $571,000, a big jump from the first three months of the year when she received $318,000. The surge in contributions, aided by such developments as an endorsement from the Democratic women’s fundraising group Emily’s List, left Kilroy with nearly $776,000 on hand as of June 30.

But Pryce raked in about $649,650 and had about $1.81 million in her campaign account, Pryce’s campaign said. John DeStefano, Pryce’s campaign manager, noted that Pryce has surpassed the $2 million mark in total fundraising.
