Taking a look at the Commonwealth of Massachusetts finance reports, the Fisher campaign 
spent $236,991.50 from last November through April. On the other hand, 337,864.60 was raised leaving a a balance of 100,873.10.
Now take a look at the break-down of receipts, hit “data” tab, filter item type “receipt”, group by “city/town” and then choose Shrewsbury . I see ten entries from the candidate to the campaign, 8 of which were loans:
- 90,000
- 50,025
- 2,000
- 22,000
- 65,000
- 30,000
- 25,000
- 25,000
Total 309,025 loans
The other two entries was a contributions of $20,000 and $25 by the candidate to the campaign. Besides the 8 loans and his 2 contribution, less then 9,000 was raised for a state wide run for Governor.
I truly feel bad that the Mr Fisher is in the hole for close to $209,000 (current loans less campaign balance), but nobody forced him to make these loans nor anyone else that signs a loan for a mortgage or student loan. Instead of asking the MASS GOP for money, he should focus on a campaign event to retire his debt.
