Schroder had raised $186K before leaving 6th District race

Before Congressman Jim Gerlach (R-6) decided to seek reelection, one of the Republicans who had hoped to succeed him was on his way to building a fundraising base.

State Representative Curt Schroder (R-Chester), who dropped out of the race shortly after Gerlach got back into it, had raised about $186,000 by the end of last year, according to campaign finance data. He had about $127,000 in cash on hand.

Only the smallest percentage of Schroder’s donors had given the legal maximum, meaning he could have returned for more when what had looked to be a competitive primary content with businessman Steven Welch heated up. Gerlach now faces a primary challenge from Welch, who is staying in the race.
