MI-03: Democrat Hillary Scholten outraises Republican rivals in West Michigan congressional race
GRAND RAPIDS, MI — Democrat Hillary Scholten raised more than $480,000 last quarter in her bid for Michigan’s 3rd Congressional District seat, topping her Republican rivals for the first time since the race began.
Scholten, an immigration attorney from Grand Rapids, brought in $484,968 between April 1 and June 30, according to federal campaign finance reports due Wednesday.
“I think these numbers really show that people here are ready for change,” she said. “They want a competent, compassionate and service-oriented leader who will fight for things that matter.”
Scholten is running unopposed in the Democratic primary for the Aug. 4 election. She will face the winner of the Republican primary — five candidates are competing in that race — in the November general election.
