Democrat Foster Campbell raises $2.5M as Louisiana Senate runoff looms
Democrat Foster Campbell's Louisiana Senate campaign raked in more than $2.5 million in contributions in the weeks surrounding the Nov. 8 election, according to his latest filing with the Federal Election Commission.
Between Oct. 20 and Nov. 20, he raised $2,490,939 from individuals and another $29,600 from political action committees, according to the report his campaign released Tuesday (Nov. 29).
Kennedy's campaign would not release his report Tuesday. The Secretary of the Senate's office had not received it and it wasn't listed on the FEC's website.
This quote from his GOP opponent stung the most though:
"West Coast liberals think they can buy this election for Foster Campbell," Kennedy spokesman Lionel Rainey said in a statement. The campaign did not say how much Kennedy had raised in that same time frame.
East Coast liberals get no respect.
