"Oh this is a bunch of nonsense. I did just fine and I don't think any of these liberal Democrats are going to win over North Dakotans."
It appears Rep. Kevin Cramer's Q2 fundraising has not been too great considering quite a few other of his fellow GOP Congressmen/Congresswomen have achieved greater success. The North Dakota Democratic-NPL Party was quick to go after this:

Bismarck, ND—Following months of controversy, Kevin Cramer’s paltry fundraising numbers seem to reflect the overall sentiment surrounding Cramer and his time in office. Cramer has raised a meager $80,394* during the entirety of the 2nd Quarter. House members in neighboring states have raised an average of $401,245*, and in the same amount of time, Montana’s freshman, at-large Congressman, Steve Daines, posts over 5 times the amount Cramer was able to raise.
Dem-NPL Executive Director, Chad Oban, released the following statement:
“These numbers are not surprising, mostly because North Dakotans are paying attention to Rep. Cramer’s lack of results in Washington. You can’t turn your back on the people of our state, make inflammatory remarks, and then expect everyone to open up their checkbooks. He also appears to be spending his contributions at an incredibly high rate. And furthermore, it’s a pretty clear testament to his lack of support when the majority of his contributions are coming from PACs*, with only 25 individuals making contributions.
As pointed out, Rep. Steve Daines who represents the Montana At-Large district (the state of Montana in other words) got greater fundraising results in Q2 but Cramer, being a first term Congressman, is not as strong it seems at getting contributions.
Is Congressman Cramer more interested in serving his constituents than fundraising or is he simply not all that?
Or maybe it must be this:
