Barrett Pumps 300000 From Self Into Gubernatorial Bid
Gubernatorial hopeful Barbara Barrett announced a 300000 loan of her own money to her campaign to win the Republican nomination over Gov. Fife Symington. The move triggers a temporary lift in individual contribution caps, allowing up to 2000 per donor until Barrett’s loan is matched by opponents’ spending. Barrett’s spokesman Richard Lessner said the seed money signals a serious, credible race, with Barrett buying substantial TV time to confirm her candidacy.
