McCrory Money

Republican Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory's gubernatorial campaign said Friday that he raised more than $1 million in the last quarter and has $700,000 in cash on hand. Campaign manager Richard Hudson pointed out that McCrory had raised more in that three-month period than the party's two previous nominees. Democratic Lt. Gov. Bev Perdue's gubernatorial campaign said last week that she had $1.4 million in her coffers at the end of June and had raised some $2.3 million during the filing period between April 16 and June 30. Candidates had to file or mail their reports to the State Board of Elections before midnight Thursday. (THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, 7/11/08).
