Walden Fundraising Outpaces Challenger

The money gap in the Oregon Second Congressional District Republican primary keeps growing.  According to documents filed with the Federal Elections Commission, incumbent Greg Walden raised $493,000 in the first quarter of 2014, and has $1,800,000 in the bank.  Meanwhile, Klamath County Commissioner Dennis Linthicum reported raising $13,000 in the past three months, and total fundraising is just about $25,000, including a $6,500 loan Linthicum has made to his own campaign.  Linthicum has sought Tea Party support for his challenge to Walden.
