Walters Says He's Raised $250K For Democrats

Former Governor David Walters, in a post on a Democratic chat board, says he and his wife, Rhonda, have raised more than $250,000 for Democratic candidates this year. Walters, governor from 1991 to 1995, did not seek reelection after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge to avoid prosecution on multiple felony counts tied to fundraising for his 1990 campaign. Walters now heads Walters Power International, a firm involved in power plant operations and installation worldwide. Walters last week held a fundraiser in his home for Pat Potts, party nominee in Senate District 40 against incumbent Republican Cliff Branan, elected in 2002. An event Tuesday night is for Jennifer Seal, candidate in House District 85 against Republican nominee David Dank, husband of out-going Rep. Odilia Dank.
