AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Gov. Rick Perry is pulling ahead of Sen.
Kay Bailey Hutchison in the money race.
Campaign finance reports posted by the Texas Ethics Commission
on Tuesday show that Perry raised more than twice that of Hutchison
during the first three weeks of January.
The two are locked in a heated battle to be the Republican
nominee for governor.
Perry had raised about $735,000 from Jan. 1 to Jan. 21 and had
$10.4 million in the bank at the end of the reporting period.
During the same period, Hutchison raised almost $270,000 and had
$10 million in the bank. The reports show the Hutchison campaign is
spending at almost twice the rate of Perry's.
Also running for the GOP nomination in the March 2 primary is
libertarian-leaning activist Debra Medina.
