From the Review Journal:
-Even though she does not have a primary opponent, Assembly Speaker Barbara Buckley, D-Las Vegas, has raised more than $300,000 in campaign contributions and has begun to give money to many other Democratic legislative candidates.
Clark County Election Department records show the District 8 assemblywoman raised $303,347 in contributions as of July 31 and spent $142,762.
The Republican candidates in her district, who have a primary race, raised next to nothing compared with Buckley.
Kevin Child actually reported that he raised nothing and spent nothing on the campaign, while his primary opponent, Jim Jonas, raised and spent $4,925.
Child, however, has had expenses during the period since he hired a lawyer to contest before the Supreme Court whether Buckley could run for another term under the state’s term limits constitutional amendment.
