Duffy outraises Kreitlow in latest fundraising reports
Freshman GOP U.S. Rep. Sean Duffy outraised Dem challenger Pat Kreitlow by more than 2-to-1 in the third quarter.
Reports posted at the FEC site over the weekend show Duffy, R-Weston, raised $234,111 between July 1 and Sept. 30. He spent $58,067 and had $698,185 cash on hand.
By comparison, Kreitlow, the former state senator from Chippewa Falls, raised $108,740, spent $34,717 and had $155,917 cash on hand.
Duffy, who represents the northern 7th CD long held by Dems, is targeted by national Democrats in his 2012 re-election bid.
U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, in the 1st District, also held a significant financial edge over Dem challenger Rob Zerban.

Freshman GOP Rep. Reid Ribble in the 8th CD raised $136,249 for the period, spent $74,466 and had $482,202 cash on hand.
Dem Jamie Wall announced this month that he'll challenge Ribble. He doesn't have to file a report for the third quarter.
