Clarification: Leppert Did Donate $500,000 to His Campaign, But That Wasn’t Among the $750,000 in Reported Constributions

Shawn McCoy of the Tom Leppert campaign clarifies Leppert’s Q2 fundraising numbers:

Yes, Tom invested more of his own money in the campaign. That was not part of the 750k.=

[Excerpt from attached press release]
DALLAS, Texas, July 15, 2011 – Republican U.S. Senate candidate Tom Leppert announced today that his campaign banked $1.25 million in the second quarter of 2011. Fueled by over $750,000 in second quarter contributions and another personal investment in the campaign, Leppert continues to lead the field of announced candidates in fundraising. Leppert now has $3.4 million in total cash on hand, with almost $3.2 million in all-important primary cash on hand to spend before voters go to the polls in March.
