Foley’s final accounting with SEEC: losing race cost him $12,679,445.88

Now up on the State Elections Enforcement Commission website is Republican Tom Foley’s final filing for his losing guberantorial candidacy. His record-setting nearly $12.7-million campaign (easily trumping the total spent by both parties in the 2006 and 2002 campaigns by more than $4 million) is in the red by $189,225.33, according to the filing. The total of his personal fortune invested in the campaign remains at $10.85 million, with outstanding expenses of about $24,600. During his final fund-raising efforts, he gathered $9,910. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, whose campaign ran under the informal and now-unwanted banner of “Dan Malloy for Governor,” spent every penny of $8.75 million, $8.5 million of which was through the state’s public financing program.
