Not according to the New York Times.  They say $170,000 in total  from 
Abramoff and his agents.

Well, as I recall, Bob Ney sold himself for substantially less than  Duke 
Cunningham, so if we're going by anecdotal evidence, we should just say  the 
market is fluid.

Subject:  [EL] 80% of time fundraising

 
This  is of course ridiculous and caused by exceeding low candidate 
contribution  limits. You cannot even buy a Democrat candidate for $2600 or  even 
$5200.  Anecdotal evidence is that it takes at least $99,000 in  cold hard 
cash to buy a Democrat candidate (Jefferson) and at  least $140,000 to buy a 
Republican one (Cunningham).  
 

 
These  low candidate contribution limits also are accountable for the vast  
majority of fund given to independent groups that the "reformers"  spend 
all their time complaining about -- a problem they  created.
 

 
These  limits need to be raised or eliminated to stop this distortion of 
the  system.  Jim Bopp

Raising Money”_ (http://electionlawblog.org/?p=63797)

_HuffPo_ 
(http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/28/michelle-nunn-fundraising_n_5628018.html) ‘s  Paul Blumenthal: 
A  campaign strategy memo prepared for Georgia Democratic Senate  candidate 
Michelle Nunn last year and leaked online on Monday reveals  far more than 
just the inner workings of one high-profile Senate  campaign. Details in the 
memo illuminate the dominant role of  fundraising in the political world. 
“Hitting  our targets will require us to prioritize fundraising above all 
else  and to focus the candidate’s time on it with relentless intensity,”  
the _memo_ 
(http://www.scribd.com/fullscreen/235287519?access_key=key-7XLZhUlmcqs8zb0ft3xs&allow_share=true&escape=false&view_mode=scroll) , written in 
December 2013 and _leaked to National Review_ 
(http://www.nationalreview.com/article/383894/michelle-nunns-campaign-plan-eliana-johnson#GASen) , states 
in a section on  the campaign’s finance plan. 
To  reach the campaign’s target of raising $15 million to $20 million for  
the entire race, the memo urges that Nunn’s time be budgeted almost  
exclusively for fundraising, at least until the tail end of the race.  Nunn, who 
would face no serious competition in the Democratic primary,  should spend 
between 70 and 80 percent of her time raising money from  January through 
September, according to the memo. Only in October does  the recommended 
fundraising time drop to 50  percent. 
The  memo estimates that there are 2,500 campaign hours in 2014 and  
recommends that 2,201 of them be spent raising  money.
