Tomblin Fundraising Totals $1.1 Million

• {Charleston, West Virginia}...Governor Earl Ray Tomblin has attracted another $124,800 as he seeks a full term as West Virginia's chief executive in the May 8th Democratic primary, bringing Tomblin's fundraising total to $1.1 million. Tomblin faces Arne Moltis, a political newcomer who has reported raising no funds. Republican Bill Maloney is seeking a general-election rematch with Tomblin. The Morgantown businessman has raised $341,000, including just under $36,000 during the filing period. Maloney faces a GOP primary challenge from Ralph William Clark, who has loaned his campaign $10,000. Tomblin had a $950,000 campaign balance as of April 22nd, and Maloney had $271,215 on hand. Maloney narrowly lost to Tomblin in last year's special election for completing the term left by now-U.S. Senator Joe Manchin.
