That comes out to about $109 per vote that he received last month, compared to winner Patrick Murphy's $25 per vote expenditure. From Politico: "Rep. Allen West spent nearly the same amount in the final days before
the election as his opponent spent during the entire election – and
still lost. In all, the Florida Republican spent $18.1 million in
the 2012 cycle, which was more than four times as much as his opponent
Patrick Murphy, who spent $4.2 million."
The article continues about the conservative Republican Congressman "West still has $1.5 million left in his campaign coffers – more money
than the average amount raised by House GOP freshmen in 2010, when West
was first elected, according to the Center for Responsive Politics."
