New interim U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker of Tupelo is such a good fundraiser, he’s collected more money than he can use as he campaigns to succeed Trent Lott in the U.S. Capitol.
Republican Wicker reports raising more than $3 million in the first three months of 2008 in his race against Democrat former Gov. Ronnie Musgrove.
But some of that money must be returned because it’s over campaign limits.
Musgrove’s campaign manager terms it “illegal.” The Federal Elections Commission sees it as “overage” collected for an election that won’t happen.
