WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) - U.S. Sen. Richard Burr had $5.3 million in his campaign coffers starting the new year in his bid to represent North Carolina on Capitol Hill for another six years.
Burr’s campaign released his fourth-quarter fundraising numbers Wednesday. They were due to federal election regulators by this weekend.
The figures showed The Richard Burr Committee taking in $818,000 for the three months ending Dec. 31. The campaign had raised more than $1 million in each of three previous quarters.
Burr has three rivals in the March 15 Republican primary, including Cary physician Greg Brannon, who hasn’t yet released his fundraising numbers.
There are four Democrats running for their party’s nomination. Deborah Ross of Raleigh reported Tuesday raising almost $586,000 during the quarter, with $452,000 cash on hand.
