Georgia’s Next Secretary of State – Campaign Disclosures
by Bill Simon
Rumors have it that the first quarter’s disclosures from the two leading candidates, Karen Handel and Bill Stephens, will show the following:
Bill Stephens raised $33,000 and has $142,000 Cash on Hand.
Karen Handel raised $177,000 and has $310,000 Cash on Hand.
Because this first quarter of 2006 was a legislative quarter, Stephens was hampered in what he could raise. However, Handel’s impressive amount of $310,000 on hand may be a clear sign of careful money management. The June 30 quarter should be very revealing as to who will be on top of their game and be able to defeat the other.

Stephens can’t even fund his campaign through 7/18. He’ll have to raise a lot of money to be able to get his name out. Look at his 2nd disclosure, his ability to raise money is questionable at this point.
