Republican 1st District House candidate Frank Guinta’s campaign adviser Mike Biundo says Friends of Frank Guinta raised $110,115 in half a quarter of fund-raising and shows $91,000 on hand.
Biundo said the Manchester mayor’s committee he received contributions from 127 individuals, 78 percent of whom are from New Hampshire, and no PAC money.
“The mayor is extremely encouraged and heartened” by the result, Biundo said.
In late afternoon, Democratic 1st District incumbent Rep. Carol Shea-Porter reported raising $120,167 in the second quarter, for a total of $233,571 in the current election cycle. Shea-Porter in the quarter raised $51,395 from individuals but $68,575 from PACs, and reported $211,459 on hand as of June 30, 2009.

READERS' COMMENTS:
I shudder at the thought of having Frank Guinta in Congress given his lousy service as Mayor, if by some awful mistake he should get elected his first effort might be to find a area gin mill that he can hide from reality in.

"Winners and losers: House fundraising"
By Aaron Blake - thehill.com - 2/1/2010
The House's fourth-quarter fundraising reports were due Sunday, and there was plenty of movement in the last three months of 2009.
Here are the early winners and losers now that all the numbers have rolled in:
Winners
• Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-N.H.) — She saw Manchester Mayor Frank Guinta (R) raise just $61,000. That’s not top-tier money. Unheralded primary opponent Bob Bestani raised nearly as much — $50,000.

Recruiting duds. Manchester mayor Frank Guinta was considered one of the most promising recruits last year, but he hasn’t lived up to his potential – especially on the fundraising front. He only took in $61,000 in his race against Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-N.H.).

"Guinta trails in 2009 fundraising"
NH Union Leader, By John DiStaso, Senior Political Reporter, February 1, 2010
GUINTA's NUMBERS. Republican former Manchester Mayor Frank Guinta and 2nd District 2008 Republican nominee Jennifer Horn trail their chief competitors in year-end fundraising.
Guinta raised $60,892 during the fourth quarter of 2009 in his 1st District U.S. House campaign, slightly more than one-third of the amount raised in the same period by the Democrat he wants to oust, Rep. Carol Shea-Porter.
With his campaign's quarterly expenditure listed at $67,912 in a report filed with the Federal Election Commission, Guinta spent more than he took in between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31 of last year.
During the quarter, he raised $40,242 from individuals and $20,650 from political action committees.
Guinta reported raising $277,056 since becoming a candidate last May, spent $123,6661 and ended the year with $173,394 on hand.
Guinta had raised $90,000 in the second quarter, $20,000 of it a loan he made to his campaign, and $126,000 in the third quarter.
As we reported last week, Shea-Porter raised $174,213 in the fourth quarter and $549,067 since being reelected in 2008. She reported $407,565 on hand as of Dec. 31.
Also in the 1st District House race, Republican Bob Bestani reported raising $50,370 during the quarter and $100,670 during the year. He began 2010 with $80,827 on hand.
