Nunnelee fundraising picks up, still trails Childers

Republican Alan Nunnelee’s congressional campaign couldn’t wait until today’s federal finance report deadline to tout its latest fundraising.

But he still faces a Democratic incumbent – Rep. Travis Childers of Booneville – with $903,469 in the bank.

Morgan Baldwin, a Nunnelee political adviser, said Wednesday that the Tupelo state senator and businessman outraised Childers, during the April-June quarter.

“Nunnelee posted strong results, raising $312,000 for the fall,” Baldwin said in an e-mail.

Childers’ campaign reports raising $276,947 during the three-month period, bringing his total contributions to $1.3 million.
