KS AG Outpaces Rivals in Fundraising Date: July 27, 2010
Kansas Attorney General Steve Six is easily surpassing political rivals in fundraising as he campaigns to stay in office. The Democratic incumbent reported Monday his campaign raised $235,000 from January 1 through July 22. That brought his total fundraising to $819,000. Six faces no opponent in the August 3 Democratic primary. Seeking the Republican nomination are state Senate Majority Leader Derek Schmidt of Independence and Junction City prosecutor Ralph DeZago (dee-ZAY'-goh). Schmidt reports raising just more than $85,000 this year for his campaign, bringing his total to almost $223,000. DeZago raised about $1,500 this year, bringing his campaign total to about $7,700. But he also contributed about $4,100 of his own funds to his campaign this year.
