House PACs File Finance Reports

From The Tulsa World's Capitol Bureau ~ House Democrats said Wednesday that they raised more than $120,000 at a campaign event featuring Gov. Brad Henry.
But the Republican State House Committee, which works to elect GOP members, has raised considerably more than the Democrats.
About $62,000 was donated at the door of the Democrat fundraiser Tuesday at the Skirvin Hotel in Oklahoma City, said Rep. Bill Nations, D-Norman, who is the financial officer for House Democrats' fundraising efforts. An additional $62,000 was pledged leading up to the event, he said.
The GOP stated in its report due Tuesday to the state Ethics Commission that it had $237,589 on hand as of March 31. At a fundraiser this month, about $140,000 more was donated, said Rep. Trebor Worthen, R-Oklahoma City.
In all, the Republicans have about $380,000 on hand.
