Ryan Raises Millions To Ward Off Early Challengers

U-S House Speaker Paul Ryan of Janesville has eleven-point-one million dollars in his campaign fund, as he gets ready to face three challengers who’ve already said they’ll run against him next year. The Ryan camp said Wednesday that he raised three-point-four million from January through June. Democrat Randy Brice said last week that he raised 430-thousand dollars in his first two weeks of his campaign — and the only other Democrat in the race, Janesville School Board member Cathy Myers, has not said how much she has raised. Also, Republican Paul Nehlen says he’ll run for a second time against Ryan in a primary next August. Candidates have until Saturday to file their latest financial reports with the Federal Elections Commission.
