Here are some key fundraising numbers from today:
â¢Â State Sen. Tarryl Clark (D-MN), who is seeking the Democratic nomination to run against the vocally right-wing Rep. Michele Bachmann (R), raised over $505,000 in the first quarter. Clark, the officially endorsed candidate of the state Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, must still face a Dem primary against former state university regent Maureen Reed, who was also the 2006 Independence Party nominee for lieutenant governor. Reed has not yet released her fundraising numbers.â¢Â Ex-West Virginia GOP chair David McKinley, who is running in a crowded GOP primary to face Democratic Rep. Alan Mollohan, has reportedly raised nearly $300,000. Ex-state Sen. Sarah Minear (R) raised $272,000, all but $20,000 of it self-financed.
