Rice Raised $431,000 In First Quarter

Andrew Rice's campaign for the Democratic nomination for the U. S. Senate reports he's raised $431,025 during the first three months of 2008, which brought his campaign fund raising total to $971,332 since he launched his bid for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate last fall.
Rice report to the Federal Election Commission shows that at the close of the first quarter, he had cash on hand of $597,477.
Rice seeks his party's nomination to oppose incumbent Republican Jim Inhofe, who through the end of last year had raised far more, and had far more cash on hand, than Rice.
Rice said that nearly two-thirds (64 percent) of his funds have been generated from Oklahomans and a total of 4,236 individuals have contributed to his campaign. Average contribution from individual donors at the close of the reporting period was $219. More than 96 percent of Rice's financial support has come from individuals. He has received a total of $36,660 from political action committees since the start of his campaign.
