In January, Mike Ciresi donated over $500,000 to his U.S. Senate campaign. Now Ciresi is loaning his campaign an additional $2 million:

Ciresi told the Associated Press in February 2007 that he wouldn't self-fund his campaign:
"WASHINGTON (AP) _ Attorney Mike Ciresi, who put nearly $5 million of his own money into his 2000 U.S. Senate race, said Monday he wasn't planning to self-fund again in his 2008 bid. 'No, we'll raise the money,' Ciresi said in a telephone interview. 'I think it's a better way to go.'" Source: Associated Press, February 12, 2007
