Hagan Fundraising

U.S. Senate candidate Kay Hagan is making a last-minute fundraising push before a fundraising deadline next week. Hagan campaign manager Crystal King said in an e-mail to supporters Tuesday that they need strong fundraising numbers to show everyone that the campaign can keep pressuring incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole. Campaign finance reports for a period ending Monday are due next month.
Dole had reported some $3.2 million in cash available to spend through mid-April. Hagan reported having $317,000 cash on hand. The Democratic state senator from Greensboro has said she will need about $10 million to mount a strong challenge. King said the fundraising will help show that the race is competitive.
