Marshall Leads in Fundraising Two Weeks Before the Runoff
Incumbent Steve Marshall has raised almost $600,000 more than challenger Troy King in contributions as the two campaign for the July 17 Republican runoff for attorney general, according to financial reports filed this week with the Secretary of State’s Office.
Marshall, whose wife, Bridgette Marshall, died June 24, reported that he did not raise any money during the reporting period of June 23-29. But he reported a $25,000 contribution on Tuesday, after the latest weekly reporting period was over, from the Automobile Dealers Association of Alabama Inc. in Montgomery.
Marshall has raised $2.41 million so far during the campaign and has spent $2.14 million, leaving a balance of $287,783 in his campaign account.
King, who is seeking nomination for the job he held from 2004 to 2011, reported contributions of $39,605 during the last week of June, bringing his total for the campaign to $1.81 million. He has spent $1.72 million and has a balance of $86,870.
The leading contributor to the Marshall campaign is RAGA Action Fund, with a total of $435,000 during the campaign. RAGA is an affiliate of the Washington-based Republican Attorney Generals Association. Other top contributors to his campaign are Progress PAC, which draws support mostly from businesses, $310,000; Raymond J. Harbert of Birmingham, $78,294; and Alabama Power Co. Employee PACs, and Automobile Dealers Association of Alabama Auto PAC, $55,000.
Six PACs run by Michael Echols of Tuscaloosa remain the largest contributors to the King campaign, accounting for $946,000. Other top donors to the campaign include Franklin PAC of Montgomery, $127,000, and Jim Lane of Montgomery, $55,000.
The winner of the July 17 GOP runoff will face Democrat Joseph Siegelman, son of former Gov. Don Siegelman, in the November general election.
