Nichols Raises $47,500 At Norman Event
Republican State Senator Jonathan Nichols' backers are jubilant after he reportedly raised $47,500 at a Tuesday night fundraiser, setting what they say is a new single-event record for a legislative candidate.
The event was held in the home of Norman businessman and investor Stanton Nelson with Steve Owens and Barry Switzer as headliners.
There were an estimated 120 attendees and Nichols raised $47,500 at the door: "This is a one-day state legislative record" said a source. "No one has ever raised that much money that quickly for a single legislative campaign."
Nichols' campaign warchest is said to now be in excess of $150,000.
Democrat Diane Manchester Drum, a trial lawyer, seeks her party's nomination to oppose Nichols. She is the daughter of the late prominent trial attorney Robert Manchester.
