https://www.yahoo.com/news/dem-leads-fundraising-gop-drawn-185802086.htmlNASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Democrat Heidi Campbell led in fundraising and spending last quarter in an open U.S. House race in Tennessee, where Republican Andy Ogles has taken a lower-key general election approach in a Nashville congressional district that the GOP redrew in hopes of picking up a seat.
Campbell, a state senator from Nashville, raised $533,000 and spent $183,500 according to her federal campaign finance report from mid-July through September a timeframe that includes the lead-up to the August primary election and the first months of the November general election. She recently bought her first TV ad after facing no Democratic primary opponent.
Ogles raised $242,400 and spent $126,500 in the same period, with $73,200 of that spending occurring up until the Aug. 8 primary election, in which he defeated a crowded Republican field. Ogles, the former Maury County mayor, hasn't deployed any TV ads for the November election. Neither have any third-party groups, which spent heavily on his behalf in the primary contest. He also hasn't accepted offers to debate Campbell.

This state has become a Petri dish for GOP extremism. They cut up the Nashville seat held by Cooper because they could and without any repercussions. I just hope there's enough same people left in this state to push back.

Meanwhile, in the 7th Congressional District one of the other two districts that include Nashville Republican U.S. Rep. Mark Green raised $142,600 last quarter and spent $472,300. His Democratic opponent, Odessa Kelly, raised $226,400 and spent $151,900.
Is that $472,300 a typo?
