| Description | With her campaign low on cash, U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris said Tuesday that she is trying to sell her house in Washington, D.C., to raise money for her fight against Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson.
"I am even selling my home," Harris said before a speech here. "I'm committed."
Harris said she would come close to meeting a pledge she made in March to put $10 million of her own money into the campaign, "as soon as my home sells."
Harris has talked about selling her Washington, D.C. home for months, but former staffers have said they saw no sign she was preparing to do so. On Tuesday, two Washington real-estate agents said there is no indication the four-bedroom house near Capitol Hill was ever placed in the multiple-listing service, a database of properties for sale.
In March, Harris went on national television to say she would pump $10 million of her personal fortune into her bid to become a senator. So far, she has put in about $3.15 million, and only three weeks are left in the campaign. |
