| Description | from the article:
A re-election bid by GOP Rep. Robin Hayes of Concord is again shaping up as one of the 20 or so House races both parties will be watching -- and trying to shape -- as they fight for control of the House in 2006
...
Hayes is on both parties' lists mostly because he's a Republican representing a district with many more registered Democrats (195,452) than Republicans (118,069). Unaffiliated voters in the 8th District total 71,963.
...
Hoping to scare away any formidable Democratic opposition, national Republicans and their allies have already begun funneling money to Hayes' campaign. He is among 18 House Republicans receiving contributions from the so-called "Million Dollar Club" -- a dozen business PACs representing Wal-Mart, R.J. Reynolds, UPS, Pfizer and others. He's also one of 10 House Republicans considered at risk enough to get a piece of the $1.62 million raised by his colleagues in this election cycle as part of the Retain Our Majority Program campaign.
At the end of June, Hayes' campaign reported having $436,110 in the bank.
...
National Democrats hoping to unseat Rep. Robin Hayes, R-N.C., of Concord, have raised questions about some of his votes and comments. |
