Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel has a million-dollar start to his 2014 campaign for governor.
McDaniel filed his first campaign finance report with the Arkansas Secretary of State's office today.
It indicates that the campaign received contributions totaling $1,035,618.66 from 883 individuals or businesses in the quarter that ended September 30th.
More than 90-percent of all donations received by the campaign are from Arkansas individuals or businesses. Also, 62-percent of this quarter's contributors had never contributed to McDaniel's past races for Attorney General. Individual donors outnumbered corporate donors three to one.
"I am humbled by the support I have received from people all across Arkansas as I begin my campaign for governor," McDaniel said. "We are building a campaign that will make our state proud and will be strong enough to fight off the outside special interest groups that we know will try to influence this race. A real campaign structure won't begin to come together until next year, but this first round of contributions will be very helpful as we build a campaign from the ground up."
The report filed today showed $923,118.66 was donated for the Democratic primary and $112,500 for a potential runoff.
"Arkansas needs leadership committed to doing great things and meeting the challenges of a 21st Century economy. That's why I'm running for Governor," McDaniel said. "In the coming months, I will be talking about our future and what we can accomplish by rolling up our sleeves and working together."
The financial report also notes that the McDaniel campaign spent $138,525.44 during the quarter.

Criminal law is very cruel sometimes, that%u2019s why people should know their rights. I like your legal articles because you make criminal issues very clear. People should know were to find a good attorney to protect their rights and freedom. I try to create such directory which facilitates the search of attorney. For example, check the category with Arkansas criminal attorneys http://attorney-online.info/dir/criminal/arkansas/386 People can evaluate legal experience of every lawyer very fast. I invite all attorneys to submit their contacts to this directory. Especially ones like you, who write such interesting blog posts :)
