TCH's Chris Mulick has compiled a list of some of the state's notable fundraisers for March over on his Olympia Dispatch blog.
Rep. Steve Kirby (D-Tacoma) stood out among sitting legislators, bringing in $11,660 between March 14 and March 31. It is also worth noting that Kirby's seat is currently uncontested.
Some of the open seats in Seattle expectedly brought the most rain. Gerald Pollet raised $7,600 in his attempt to fill State Treasurer candidate Jim McIntire's 46th LD seat. In the 36th LD Reuven Carlyle reported raised over $19,000, while his opponent John Burbank took in around $15,000 for the month.
Speaking of State Treasurer, ChangMook Sohn brought in about $55,000 and the Rep. McIntire raised around $64,000. Meanwhile Pierce County Executive John Ladenburg raised over $24,000 in March, but still trails AG Rob McKenna by over a half million in cash on hand.
Mulick also noted that Melvin Lindauer (R-Spokane) in the 6th, Deborah Srail (D-Fircrest) in the 28th, and Fred Finn (D-Belfair) in the 35th all collected more than $10,000 in March.
