Dino Rossi and backers flush with money to spend
Posted by Andrew Garber
Documents filed Tuesday night in the governor's race indicate Republican Dino Rossi and his supporters have four times more money to spend in the final weeks of the election than Gov. Christine Gregoire and her supporters.
The latest filings show Rossi and independent groups supporting him have about $8 million left in the bank, compared to about $1.8 million for Gregoire and her supporters. The breakdown for Rossi and his backers: Rossi has about $1.5 million left to spend. The Republican Governors Association has $2.5 million and the political action committee It's Time for a Change has $4.1 million. It's Time for a Change is funded largely by the Building Industry Association of Washington.
By comparison, Gregoire's campaign has about $1.4 million and the labor-supported group backing her, Evergreen Progress, reported about $377,000 remaining.
All those campaigns combined have raised more than $39 million.
