Frank Guinta had to loan his campaign $20,000, proving he is a poor fundraiser & lacks a solid base of support!

INSIDE THE REPORTS. Republican Manchester Mayor’s Frank Guinta’s second quarter campaign finance report for his 1st District U.S. House run has now been posted on the Federal Election Commission Web site and shows a $20,000 loan from the candidate to his campaign.

Excluding Guinta’s loan to his campaign, he raised $90,115, all from individuals.

Democratic incumbent Rep. Carol Shea-Porter raised more money from PACs ($68,575) than from individuals ($51,395).

Much of it comes from leadership PACs, including $2,000 from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s committee, and organized labor, including $5,000 from the American Federation of Teachers.

"A loan again (naturally)"

Guinta must be getting used to writing checks to himself.

The mayor recently pocketed $10,000 out of the small fortune that continues to gather dust in his City Hall campaign chest, finance records show. The money was a partial return on the $58,000 he loaned himself during his first campaign for mayor, in 2005.

Small wonder he was able to loan $20,000 to his Congressional campaign in June.
