MN: Incumbent Walz outraises GOP's Davis in 2nd quarter
9:55 AM
Two of the three candidates in Minnesota's 1st Congressional District have released their fundraising totals for the second quarter of the year. Incumbent Dem Tim Walz reported roughly $430,000 raised, compared to Republican Brian Davis' $391,000. Davis' total included a $100,000 loan. Walz reported $1.2 million cash on hand, compared to $376,000 for Davis.
A liberal blogger admits Davis' fundraising is "impressive, but its just not enough to make this a competitive race in such a DFL year."
Republican state Sen. Dick Day, who's challenging the party-endorsed Davis in the primary, has not yet released his fundraising totals.
