LITTLE ROCK - Democratic Senate hopeful Bill Halter's campaign says he raised nearly twice as much as Sen. Blanche Lincoln in April as the primary for her Arkansas seat approaches.
Halter's campaign announced Thursday he raised $579,761 between April 1 and April 28, the last reporting period before the May 18 primary. Halter spent more than $1 million and has $558,147 in the bank.
Lincoln's campaign reported that she raised $300,933 during the same period, and spent nearly $1.5 million. She has more than $3.1 million in the bank.
Both Lincoln and Halter's campaigns have been blanketing the state's airwaves with advertisements. Eight Republicans are seeking the GOP nomination for Lincoln's seat.
Thursday is the deadline for federal candidates in Arkansas to file their pre-primary fundraising reports.
