PM News Brief: A Campaign Chest, Child Tax Credit Checks & A Call For Better Pay For Wildland Firefighters
Lee Challenger Builds Campaign Funds Former state Rep. Becky Edwards, R-North Salt Lake, is doing a pretty good job fundraising so far for her campaign against Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah. About a month in, Edwards has about $466,000 in the bank, but more than half of that is her own money she’s loaned to her campaign. There’s still about a year to go before the Republican primary. Lee’s filing has not been uploaded yet to the Federal Election Commission website, but at the end of March, his campaign reported they had nearly $1 million in the bank. — Sonja Hutson
