Of the $199,683 raised by Jennifer Garrison, a Democrat in the 6th Congressional District race, during the first quarter of the year, $107,000 came from a loan she gave the campaign with $3,666 more in in-kind contributions.

Garrisons financial contributions to her campaign represent 55.4 percent of the total amount of money she raised between Jan. 1 and March 31.

Garrison, of Marietta, an attorney and former three-term Ohio House member, loaned the campaign the $107,000 on March 24, according to a financial report filed with the Federal Election Commission. The in-kind money went primarily toward running her campaign office in Marietta for expenses such as rent, utilities and email service.

In comparison, U.S. Rep. Bill Johnson, the two-term Republican incumbent from Marietta, raised $381,770 during the first three months of the year with none of it coming from him.

As of March 31, Johnson had $961,531 and Garrison had $238,1479 in their campaign funds.

Overall in this campaign, Johnson has raised $1,369,066 with $4,423 coming from him compared to $456,926 from Garrison with $135,390 from her.
