Ted Cruz, Hillary Clinton win Georgia's money race
The Republican presidential candidate who placed third in Georgia's March 1 primary also pulled in the most money from Georgians in the first three months of 2016.

Cruz trounced Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who's fundraising haul came mainly from metro Atlanta, and front-runner Donald Trump, who is mainly self-funding his campaign.
On the Democratic side of the aisle, Hillary Clinton continued to dominate the fundraising game, but Bernie Sanders supporters also posted a strong showing.
