With Hooley retiring, Erickson appears to self-fund
By Alex Isenstadt, Politicker.com ReporterPolitickerOR.com has been hearing rumors that Mike Erickson, in response to Darlene Hooley’s retirement, loaned himself upwards of $400K today.
And Politico is reporting the following:
“According to a GOP operative, Erickson will be loaning his campaign an additional $340,000 today — a sizable sum, though not yet enough to trigger the Millionaire’s Amendment, which would relax Democratic fundraising limits.”
