Mitchell Raises $200,000+ In First Two Weeks

Harry Mitchell raised an impressive $213,000 in the first two weeks of his campaign. As of the March 31st filing deadline, Mitchell reported having $204,000 cash on hand. These numbers are great. The last report put Hayworth with over $800,000 cash on hand. Mitchell generated enough excitement in two weeks to raise a quarter of what Hayworth has had for months . No doubt about it, Harry Mitchell is competitive and I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up out-raising Hayworth in the next quarter.

Also, the state Democratic Party has more dirt on Hayworth. Back in 1994, when Hayworth joined Gingrich and the others in the Contract with America movement, he was a ardent supporter of term-limits on members of Congress. Hayworth supported the 12-year limit on representatives. That was then, this is now, twelve years later and Hayworth is seeking his seventh term.

Yet again, Hayworth shows he is a man of broken promises and empty principles.
