U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn is set to report raising more money from donors than former Gov. Phil Bredesen during the first three months of the year, according to their respective campaigns for U.S. Senate.
Bredesen, a Democrat, received more than $1.8 million from donors from mid-January to late March, his campaign said Monday.
His fundraising effort was bolstered by an additional $1.4 million Bredesen loaned the campaign while seeking to “jumpstart TV and digital advertising.”
Shortly after Bredesen announced his fundraising totals, Blackburn’s campaign said they raised more than $2 million.
Abbi Sigler, a spokeswoman for Blackburn’s campaign, said the fundraising totals did not include any personal contributions or loans.
The announcements came as candidates begin to file their latest financial disclosures with the Federal Election Commission.
