LoBiondo sitting on nearly $300k

Rep. Frank LoBiondo (R-Ventnor), who is retiring after 24 years in Congress, has $297,783 remaining in his campaign warchest after spending $42,769 during the first quarter of 2018.

LoBiondo has contributed $4,000 to Rep. Chris Smith (R-Hamilton), $2,000 to Rep. Dan Donovan (R-New York), and $1,000 to Rep. Bruce Poliquin (R-Maine).  Donovan faces a primary challenge from former Rep. Michael Grimm, and Poliquin holds a seat that tilts Democratic.

The campaign is reporting income of $1,340 from Andrew McCrosson, his former campaign treasurer, as a payment toward restitution for embezzling almost $500,000 from the campaign about eight years ago.
