Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins is enjoying a nearly 2-to-1 fundraising advantage over her likely Democratic opponent, Lawrence attorney Margie Wakefield, according to the latest campaign finance reports.

Jenkins, a Republican seeking her fourth term representing the 2nd district of Kansas, which includes Lawrence, raised $249,347.59 in contributions during the first quarter of 2014, more than twice as much as Wakefield raised over the same period. She ended the quarter with $1.76 million in cash on hand.

The Jenkins campaign described that as a “torrid” fundraising pace while slamming Wakefield for being out of touch with the district.

“Congresswoman Jenkins’ strong record of promoting the interests and positions of Eastern Kansans is in stark contrast to Missouri native Margie Wakefield and her unwavering support of the Obama agenda,” Jenkins’ spokesman Bill Roe said in a news release. “From her self-professed “love” of Obamacare, to support for cap and trade, to her full-throated advocation for additional government funding of abortion, Wakefield stands at odds with Congresswoman Jenkins and the interests of Eastern Kansans.

Wakefield reported raising $140,382.92 during the first three months of the year, ending the quarter with $204,952 in cash on hand.

But she, too, claimed the numbers represent dissatisfaction with her opponent.

“The momentum in this campaign is building every single day,” Wakefield said in a news release. “It is becoming more and more clear that the residents of the 2nd district want change. I’ve been meeting with people county by county and what I hear most is that they want a Representative who will work with both parties in Congress and come to principled solutions to our nation’s problems.”

In 2012, Jenkins won re-election with 57 percent of the vote over Democrat Tobias Schlingensiepen. Since then, she was named vice chairwoman of the House Republican Caucus.

Wakefield, who was born in St. Joseph, Mo., is a graduate of Kansas University Law School and previously worked in Sen. Bob Dole’s Topeka office. She currently operates her own law practice in Lawrence where she focuses on family law.
