Fund raisin': Don Vaughan in Raleigh
With the primary over, a general election candidate's thoughts turn toward filling the campaign coffers.
Case in point: former City Councilman Don Vaughan will hold a fundraiser at the home of Tony and Monique Copeland Thursday in Raleigh. Vaughan is the Democratic nominee for the seat vacated by Sen. Kay Hagan, as she pursues her U.S. Senate run.
Vaughan is running against Joe Wilson, a council candidate last year. A quick check of campaign finance filings shows:
- * Vaughan had $49,361.79 cash-on-hand in the middle of April, according to his first quarter report.
- * Joe Wilson does not have a finance report filed online, according to the SBOE site.
Web wise: Wilson is up and running, complete with blog. As of right now, Vaughan's Site is nothing more than a page-front but when I spoke to him a couple weeks ago he said it was in the process of getting spiffed up.
