Simmons Arming for 2006

According to recently released FEC reports, Rep. Rob Simmons has raised $290,000 for his 2006 reelection fund, $200,000 of which has come from Political Action Committees. 2004 opponent, and possible 2006 challenger, Joe Courtney has raised $60,000.

Given Simmons close election, and the withering attacks he has been facing for his connections with Tom DeLay, expect Simmons to raise a whole lot for 2006 -- because as the GOP's most vulnerable House member, he will need it.
