Outside funds fuel Torrka Jennison campaign drive
Legislative race in Kansas features Robin Jennison R Healy with a heavy reliance on corporate and special interest money. From Oct 15 1997 to Oct 22 1998 he collected about 540000 in cash and in kind, with 79 percent from business and interest groups and over 10000 from outside Kansas. Opponent Gary McBee D Dighton trails in fundraising though party mailers boosted his total by 9750. Jennison defends partner money as sufficient from trade groups and firms, while McBee notes limited direct donor impact. Cattle feedlot interests and Kansas Livestock Assn. contributions bolster Jennison’s fundraising, reflecting the district’s hog farming issue.
