BOISE (AP) - Freshman U.S. Rep. Raul Labrador's fundraising machine is steamrolling contenders for his congressional seat, and he has pulled in more campaign contributions than any other Idaho candidate for Congress so far this year.

The GOP congressman who represents Idaho's western district raised about $115,000 in the first three months of 2012, capitalizing on political action committees and prominent Idahoans to bring his total to $532,000 for the two-year election cycle, according to the latest campaign finance reports filed with the Federal Election Commission.

Labrador reports having $200,000 in cash on hand as he and other candidates ramp up fundraising efforts in advance of the May 15 primary and November general election.

Of Labrador's five 1st District challengers, only Democrat Jimmy Farris, a former professional football player from Lewiston, has reported raising any cash in the race.

Farris posted $14,000 in campaign earnings during the quarter that ended March 31, bumping his overall total to $26,000. His donors include NFL free agent tight end Alge Crumpler and Buffalo Bills linebacker Bryan Scott.

Labrador's Republican primary challenger, 50-year-old truck driver Reed McCandless of Moscow, did not file a report.

"We're in full campaign mode," said China Gum, Labrador's political director. "We're just trying to stay focused. We're not thinking about other things that may be happening in the race. We're just making sure that Raul is supported, the campaign is supported the way it needs to be so we can get his message out there."

Labrador raised $79,668 from individuals in the quarter, including $2,000 from Todd Brinkmeyer of Post Falls, president of Plummer Forest Products, and $3,500 from Dynamis Energy CEO Lloyd Mahaffey of Eagle.

Labrador even outraised seven-term Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Simpson, who corralled $107,000 first-quarter campaign donations in his reelection bid for the state's 2nd district congressional seat. Campaign finance reports show Simpson more than doubled Labrador's PAC contributions with $65,000.

Simpson is outpacing Democratic challenger Nicole LeFavour.

LeFavour, a retiring state senator from Boise, reported no PAC funding but has been riding a wave of individual contributions, pulling in $59,000 in just 12 days in March.

"People just walk up and hand me money," LeFavour said. "It's pretty wonderful. It's going to take a million dollars, and I'm going to just keep asking people and hope they'll keep being generous."

Simpson earned $41,700 from individual contributors. He has a sizable cushion with $715,000 raised for the two-year election cycle.

The 2nd District leaders are poised to cruise to a general election match-up, with neither of their primary challengers reporting campaign earnings to the FEC.
