LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Campaign finance reports show Republican Congressman Rick Crawford trailed a Democratic challenger in fundraising during the last three months of 2011, but Crawford has more money in the bank for his re-election bid.
Crawford reported Friday that he raised $124,981 during the quarter. That's less than the $125,214 raised by Democratic State Rep. Clark Hall of Marvell. Hall is one of two Democrats running for the Democratic nomination for Crawford's 1st district seat in east Arkansas.
Crawford has more cash on hand, reporting $277,636 at the end of the quarter. Hall earlier this month reported having $107,044 on hand.
A report was not available Monday for Gary Latanich, who is also seeking the Democratic nomination for the seat.
