Republican Terri Lynn Land is reporting $2 million in receipts in her bid to replace retiring U.S. Sen. Carl Levin in 2014.
Land used the social media platform Twitter to post a short message about 7 a.m. Monday:
"Report to FEC: $2mil total receipts to fix Washington’s broken govt. More than half from indiv donors."
It wasn't immediately possible to verify Land's campaign finances since the federal government remains in shutdown mode and many federal workers furloughed over the federal budget, Obamacare and the looming debt ceiling debate Oct. 17.
"The performance of the Candidate & Committee Viewer and the Data Catalog may be periodically slow as we are running on limited server resources," the notice on the Federal Election Commission website reads. "We are still working to restore the Maps and Charts applications. We apologize for the inconvenience that this has caused."
Land is the only Republican so far who has entered the U.S. Senate race.
If she's the eventual Republican nominee next year, she'll likely face U.S. Rep. Gary Peters, a Bloomfield Township Democrat in the 2014 November general election.
This will be Land's first required filing as a U.S. Senate candidate and both parties are watching to gauge her strength in raising money.
Land is a former Michigan secretary of state and currently a member of the Republican National Committee.
She is likely still financially lagging Peters, however, who formally entered the race in early May after Levin announced he wouldn't seek a seventh six-year term next year.
In July, Peters announced he'd banked $1.8 million to fuel his campaign and has continued fundraising since then.
