Adler tops DCCC fundraising list

Freshman U.S. Rep. John Adler (D-Cherry Hill) continues to raise a lot of cash, this time with his eye on defending his seat in 2010.

Adler raised $464,125 last quarter – the most of any candidate in the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s 40-member “Frontline” program, which is intended to help incumbents who could be vulnerable in 2010.  He has $426,587 on hand.

Adler’s narrow win last year, for which he spent about $2.74 million, was the first time Democrats have carried his district since the 19th century, making him an obvious target of Republicans going into the next election cycle.  

The Republican National Congressional Committee is already targeting Adler with frequent press releases, and today announced that they are targeting him with robocalls pairing him with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and criticizing him for voting in favor of the stimulus package.
