Jerry McNerney, the two-term Democratic incumbent in California’s 11th Congressional District, posted a huge fundraising lead over his potential Republican challengers. McNerney’s campaign posted receipts of $816,000 in the third quarter with over $600,000 in the bank.

Republican leader in the numbers game, Lodi grapegrower Brad Goehring, reported $734,000 in receipts but he’s largely self-financed with a $650,000 check written to himself. His fundraising numbers were otherwise anemic with $80,000 coming from other contributors. Jon Del Arroz, a Danville businessman, loaned his campaign $230,000 and raised roughly $80,000 from other contributors.

Other Republican candidates posted $30,000 or less in contributions.

Meanwhile, another Republican candidate announced their candidacy: Danville resident Elizabeth Emken is the former vice president of Autism Speaks and the only female candidate in the race.

Full list of Republican candidates, adapted from Contra Costa Times reporter Lisa Vorderbruggen’s list, below:

1) Jeff Takada, a high school teacher in Manteca

2) Lodi-area grape grower Brad Goehring

3) Businessman Jon Del Arroz, of Danville
