Haslam Raises Big Bucks

Submitted by Gene Patterson on January 30, 2009 - 3:10am

Bill Haslam is off and running in his race for governor. Tonight the two-term Knoxville Mayor, held his first fundraiser - a $1,000 a person affair - and picked up a cool 1-point-4 million dollars.

According his campaign guy, Jeremy Harrell, it is the biggest single hometown fundraiser for a state-wide candidate in Tennessee history.

The host list was a who's who of Knoxville Republicans. A few Democrats showed up on the list as well. Perhaps the most prominent was former State Representative Wayne Ritchie.
