LITTLE ROCK — Republican U.S. Sen. John Boozman's campaign says he raised more than $652,000 in the final months of 2015 as he ramped up his re-election bid in Arkansas.
Boozman's campaign said Monday that the first-term lawmaker spent more than $212,000 between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31 and ended the year with more than $1.5 million cash on hand. Sunday was the deadline for candidates to file their year-end reports with the Federal Election Commission.
Boozman was first elected in 2010 and is being challenged in the March 1 primary by North Little Rock businessman Curtis Coleman. Former federal prosecutor Conner Eldridge is the only Democrat running for Boozman's seat.
Boozman began airing the first television ads of his re-election bid last week.
