Other filings

Lampropoulos has said previously that he plans to stay active in Utah politics. He still has his own PAC operating. His personal spending of $2.9 million comes through adding up his PAC activities for 2002, 2003 and 2004; his campaign account itself for 2004, and an estimated $325,000 that Lampropoulos spent out of his own pocket on 12 month's worth of radio ads.

The ad money, which shows up on no report, paid for one- to two-minute homilies that ran on KSL and other leading Utah radio stations in 2003 in which Lampropoulos talked about what is right with America. He plans to restart those radio ads in January, he said recently, even though he can't say now if he'll run again or what office he'll seek.

Other candidates' filings:

Nolan Karras, whom Huntsman defeated in the June GOP gubernatorial primary election, raised $1.105 million and spent $1.134 million.

Gov. Olene Walker, defeated in the May 8 GOP convention, raised $205,011 and spent $204,352.
