Republican candidate Jeff Martin has neither spent nor received donations for his campaign against incumbent Al Green, D-Houston, for the U.S. Representative District 9 race so far this election season, according to the latest round of campaign finance reports due to election officials Oct. 15.

Every opposed candidate in the Nov. 8 election must file a contributions and expenditures report 30 days before the election. This latest round of reports, the first mandated disclosure since this summer, covers all financials from July 1 to Sept. 29, according to the Texas Ethics Commission.

In that time, Green has received $41,065 in contributions and spent $83,891 on his campaign. The ninth Congressional district includes parts of Harris and Fort Bend counties, Houston, Missouri City and Stafford.
