The Green Candidate

Sen. Roy Herron is rolling in the dough according to his campaign announcement of reporting $650K for the semi-annual fundraising report, with $600K on hand.

“Old-fashioned hard work, brand new ideas and wonderful friends have been the keys to our fundraising success, and they are the keys to leading Tennessee forward in creating good jobs, strengthening education and improving healthcare. This far exceeds our goals and others’ expectations. This overwhelming support proves we are on track to get the support we need to win.”

We'll find out tomorrow how much of this was raised and how much transferred from his Senate account, which contained $282K at the end of 2008.
