Congressional seats and costly coin

Was going through this morning's emails. Found one from MapLight, a non-artisan, nonprofit research organization that tracks money and politics in U.S. Congress, that I found interesting.

The organization conducted an analysis of money raised by members of the 113th Congress who won election in 2012.

House members, on average, each raised $1.7 million, or about $2,300 a day during the 2012 cycle.

Senators, on average, each raised $10.5 million, or about $14,400 a day during the same time period.

You can find the full report, which has a spreadsheet of everyone including the local folks, right smack here.
