While eastside Republican Congressman Dave Reichert is getting hammered for accepting money from the Hammer, Reichert’s Democratic challenger, Darcy Burner, just reported some rather impressive fundraising figures for the first quarter:

Burner has raised a total of over $530,000, has $355,000 cash on hand, and got more than $150,000 of that money from donations that poured in during the last ten days of the quarter (which ended March 31).
