Teague’s new campaign loan was disclosed in a filing with the Federal Election Commission that detailed finances from Oct. 1-15. On top of the new loan, Teague raised just under $96,000 during that period and spent $342,000.

He raised just under $156,000 during the Oct.1-15 reporting period and spent just under $176,000. That left him with just under $436,000 on hand going into the final stretch.
