Buchanan pulls in big Q2 haul as Ways and Means race heats up - Roll Call

Rep. Vern Buchanan led second-quarter fundraising among GOP hopefuls for the party’s top spot on the powerful Ways and Means Committee, raking in more than $860,000 in contributions.

The Florida Republican drew donations from major tax firms, companies across the health care and medical industries, mega billionaire Bill Gates and more during the three-month span from April through June, according to his latest Federal Election Commission filing.

Missouri Rep. Jason Smith, who’s also seeking the Ways and Means spot, brought in more than $430,000. Another contender, Rep. Adrian Smith of Nebraska, raised almost $330,000 according to his second quarter filing and about $57,500 more in a pre-primary filing covering early April.
