Leatherwood’s Pockets Get Fatter

By Kleinheider Posted on August 1, 2008 at 3:53 pm

But so does Marsha Blackburn’s warchest:

Tom Leatherwood has reported a dramatic fundraising increase. He’s running against incumbent Marsha Blackburn in the Republican Primary for the seventh Congressional district. Leatherwood raised more than $33,000 in the month of July. That’s almost half as much as he reported for the entire second quarter.

Still, it’s $10,000 less than Blackburn raised in the same month, and war chest is much larger. She has more than $550,000 in cash on hand. Leatherwood has about $30,000 dollars to spend. His campaign has gone $41,000 in debt. Blackburn’s is still solvent, despite spending more than a million dollars so far.

    How is Tom Leatherwood going to curb spending in DC when spending in his own campaign has gotten out of control??? His campaign is $41,000 in debt that we know of! You want to talk about balancing the federal budget Tom? How about you show voters that you can balance your own budget first. Here is a simple solution to your growing problem: don’t spend money that you don’t have.
