TOPEKA (AP) -- State Sen. Tim Huelskamp outpaced other candidates in Kansas' 1st Congressional District in fundraising in the last quarter of 2009.
Campaign finance records show that the Fowler Republican reported receiving nearly $137,000 in contributions during the period. He ended last year with $480,000 in cash.
He is one of six Republicans seeking the GOP nomination for the seat held by Rep. Jerry Moran, a Republican who is running for the Senate. The sprawling district covers 69 counties in western and central Kansas.
Sen. Jim Barnett, of Emporia, received about $126,000 in contributions during the quarter and ended the year with nearly $375,000 in cash.
Tracey Mann, a commercial real estate seller from Salina, had $241,000 in cash after $72,000 in contributions.
