DEL.ICIO.USIf money talks, Thurmond and ‘with a K’ could be in trouble
Both candidates are currently being out-raised by the other party
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
What little we’ve seen of this round of campaign disclosures holds some disquieting info for both Republicans and Democrats.
Kathy Cox, the Republican state school superintendent, raised only $1,300 during the first three months of this year. She has $46,738 in the bank.
Meanwhile, Carlotta Harrell, a relatively unknown Democrat who ran for school board in Henry County in 2004, reports raising $28,275. And has $74,394 available for spending.
Former congresswoman Denise Majette, who recently announced for state school superintendent, apparently wasn’t required to file a report.
In the race for state labor commissioner, incumbent Democrat Michael Thurmond reports having raised $3,069 this month, and has $72,428 in cash on hand.
But Republican Brent Brown of Atlanta, who ran for the post in 2004, raised a surprising $100,525 during the same period. And has $91,414 in the bank.
State Rep. Chuck Schied, a Republican from Woodstock, has also announced for the labor commissioner race. He had not filed a report this weekend — from what we can see on the web site.
