I was under the impression that Jason Chaffetz spent $100,000 to get past State GOP convention, beating David Leavitt and almost knocking of Cannon then.

He then spent $100,000 beating Cannon in the primary.

The rest was for the general election. Either way, the fact his campaign didn't go in debt, was able to attract so many volunteers willing help was impressive.

Now we will see how much these 3 will get done back in DC. Best wishes.

Jason ran an impressive campaign - the fact that he ran a successful race against an incumbent for a fraction of what it supposed to be the minimum (one million), shows that he can walk the walk, not just talk the talk. And arc, I thought he spent quite a bit less than 100K getting to convention . . .
