Democrat Tarryl Clark started the month with $601-thousand dollars for her congressional campaign in Minnesota’s 6th District. Clark is one of two Democrats seeking to unseat Republican Representative Michele Bachmann. Bachmann’s bank balance topped $1.5 million dollars, while Clark’s primary rival, Dr. Maureen Reed, had $434-thousand dollars but plans to put $250-thousand of her own money into the race. The 6th District stretches across the northern Twin Cities suburbs and reaches west past St. Cloud. Bachmann is seeking a third term.
