Roxanne Conlin, a Democrat who’s running for the U.S. Senate, announced last week that she had raised about $630,000 in the first three months of the year. Two other candidates have been running for the Democratic Party’s 2010 U.S. Senate nomination. Tom Fiegen of Clarence raised $11,274 and Bob Krause raised $1,934 in the first quarter.
Conlin, Fiegen & Krause are competing for the chance to face Republican U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley in the general election. Conlin crossed a threshold this weekend when she visited Dubuque County. She’s now visited each of Iowa’s 99 counties — something Grassley does annually.
