It appears that some Republican candidates are unable to raise enough money for their upcoming campaigns. From the looks of it, Republican candidate for Ohio's 15th district, Steve Stivers, has fallen into that category. Stivers, a former bank lobbyist, does not seem to be able to match the campaign war chest of the Democratic candidate, Mary Jo Kilroy. Stivers, and some other Republican candidates, will be getting some fundraising help from Rep. Fred Upton (MI-6th-R). Here are some excerpts from The Hill:
Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) is in the process of raising money for more than a dozen of his vulnerable House colleagues, and Michigan GOP Reps. Joe Knollenberg and Tim Walberg are set to be the beneficiaries Thursday....
....The only non-incumbent receiving Upton’s help is Ohio candidate Steve Stivers, who is running for retiring Rep. Deborah Pryce’s (R) seat.
Was Stivers in Washington last week to get some financial help from Republican members of Congress?
