Northup Raising Money, Thieneman Uncertain

Louisville developer Chris Thieneman's off and on run for Congress is still on hold. Thieneman's name will be on the May ballot as a republican candidate. But he says he's "still on the fence" about whether to run an all out campaign.

Thieneman is still riled up about the way he was treated by Jefferson County GOP officials at the party's convention a couple of weekends ago. Thieneman was tossed out of the meeting after, he says, being a properly elected delegate to the nominations committee. Thieneman says he's being encouraged to run by a number of folks who didn't like the way he was treated but he hasn't decided whether to ramp up a fundraising effort. It's getting late.

Meanwhile, the front runner for the republican nomination is ignoring Thieneman in her fundraising efforts and concentrating on John Yarmuth in the fall. Here's Anne Northup's fundraising e-mail:

Only Four Days Left!With only four days remaining in this reporting period, we are quickly approaching our campaign's first big deadline. Monday, March 31 is the deadline for reporting how much money our campaign has raised.
Today, this race is ranked as one of the top challenger races in the country. Help us send a message with our grand total that this district is going to send a fighter back to Washington.
Be a big part of our success and join our team today!
If you could donate $25, $50, or more, we will raise an additional $100,000 dollars before Monday. Send this request on to a few like minded friends and we will multiply the effect.
Please don't wait! Act now, be as generous as possible and make a difference in the final days. Our campaign website is under construction, but we are already accepting donations on a secure site. Click here to help today.
Thank you to the hundreds that have already contributed and thanks in advance to those who will help make the difference in these remaining four days.

Paid for by Northup for Congress.
