Pocan has cash edge in Wis. House District 2 race

Posted:

MADISON (WKOW) -- State Rep. Mark Pocan has raised just over $1 million in his effort to succeed fellow Democrat Tammy Baldwin in Congress.

Pocan and Republican Chad Lee are running for the House seat Baldwin has occupied since 1998. Baldwin gave up her seat to run for retiring Herb Kohl's U.S. Senate seat.

The 2nd District represents reliably Democratic areas including Madison and surrounding areas.

Pocan's most recent fundraising report shows he raised about $42,000 between October 1-17. That gave him a total of $1.1 million raised in the entire election cycle. After expenses, he has about $112,000 cash on hand.

Meanwhile, Lee is reporting raising a total of $72,000 all year. Lee's campaign says he had about $8,500 in the bank as of last week.
