Wednesday, July 19, 2006 Askins Taps Own Money To Fund Her Campaign By World Capitol Bureau
OKLAHOMA CITY -- State Rep. Jari Askins, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor, has given her campaign $250,000.
Askins previously gave the campaign $100,000, meaning that more than half of her contributions are her own money.
Her report filed late Monday with the state Ethics Commission shows that she has raised a total of $536,396 and has $108,752 remaining.
During the April through June reporting period, Askins, of Duncan, raised about $62,000.
Askins, who must leave her House seat because of term limits, has led the minority Democrats in the House.
Among other Democrats, Pete Regan has raised $416,818, and Sen. Cal Hobson of Lexington has raised $177,909.
A fourth Democrat, Jim Rogers of Midwest City, filed for the lieutenant governor's race but has not campaigned.
The Democrats will face off in Tuesday's primary, and the winner will face the GOP victor in the Nov. 7 general election.
