Thursday, October 16, 2014

YOUNGSTOWN — U.S. Rep. Bill Johnson, R-6th, spent more money for campaign commercials on television, radio and on the Internet in the past couple of months than Jennifer Garrison, his Democratic challenger, has raised for her entire campaign.

The monetary difference between the two-term incumbent and Garrison, both from Marietta, remains wide. Johnson has raised more than three time the amount of money than his challenger overall in this race.

In the time period between July and September, Johnson’s campaign raised $297,107 to $55,011 for Garrison, according to the latest reports filed with the Federal Election Commission.
