for his reelection bid in the final quarter of 2017, all while paying six-figures on legal bills over an investigation into improper use of campaign cash.
The sum is staggeringly low for a sitting member seeking reelection and it gives Hunter $290,904 in his campaign account. Thats less than half of the money he had in the bank two years ago, before his 2016 reelection.
Hes also been out-raised by both of his top Democratic challengers, Ammar Campa Najjar and Josh Butner. Campa Najjars campaign raised about $176,000 while Butners campaign raised $104,000.
Hunter has been dogged by allegations that he spent campaign dollars on personal expenses, including spending on video games, clothes and air travel for his familys rabbit. The FBI is investigating those charges, and the San Diego Union-Tribune reported in December that a grand jury is subpoenaing witnesses.

If he doesn't run for reelection that makes #35!
