With the deadline for filing campaign finance reports this week, Sen. Debbie Stabenow announced that she raised $1 million for next year’s election, matching her chief Republican competitor, Rep. Pete Hoekstra.
Hoekstra also raised a million dollars during the quarter, while his chief rival for the GOP nomination, Clark Durant, raised $750,000.
