The heated campaign between Senator Creigh Deeds and Delegate Sally Hudson for the new District 11 will be decided in six days, and both campaigns have plenty of money to spend in the final moments before the primary.
The Virginia Public Access Project has compiled campaign finance reports for the period between April 1 and June 8.
Deeds began the month with $422,902 in the bank and raised a total of $516,322, including $456,495 in contributions greater than $100, $9,392 in contributions less than $100, and $50,435 in in-kind contributions more than $100. (view the raw report)
