Money Race in the 7th

Considering Obey has thrown his entire weight behind helping Lassa raise money, this is telling

State Sen. Julie Lassa, D-Stevens Point, announced Tuesday that she has raised about $313,000, the same day she became the lone Democrat seeking to fill Obey’s 7th Congressional District seat. Joe Reasbeck of Iron River said Tuesday he would exit the race, citing family issues.

Lassa will face the winner of the September Republican primary, either former Ashland County District Attorney Sean Duffy or Rudolph farmer Dan Mielke.

Matt Seaholm, Duffy’s campaign manager, said he expects his campaign to report raising $420,000 this quarter, bringing its cash total to about $620,000. Duffy reported $339,000 in cash at the end of March.
