Campaign cash piling up in 1st District race
Randy Wadkins, a chemistry professor at the University of Mississippi, entered the race earlier this year. Since then, he has collected almost $27,000 in campaign donations, according to Federal Elections Commission reports filed in mid-July.
Wadkins has spent a little over $7,000 on campaign expenses, leaving him a cash on hand balance of more than $19,000.
