State Sen. Robert Hurt reports today that he raised nearly $300,000 from 450 donors since after the November General Election, most of the donors being from within Virginia. He also has over $250,000 in cash on hand. This puts him ahead of any competitor in cash raised, cash on hand, number of donors, and number of donors from within Virginia.
Update: His chief rival, Laurence Verga, who has to date self-funded 96% of his campaign, yet has nearly $220,000 cash on dismissed the fundraising by saying, “It is clear from the State Senator’s finance report that he is the preferred choice of Richmond lobbyists and Washington insiders.”
