3rd District Update

It appears money is rolling into the race for Jackie Stump's vacated seat. Will Vehrs has a post about the donations in the race for the 3rd. This article says that Cook (the GOPer) has amassed $41k in donations while the democrat Bowling has raised $27k. Cook's biggest donation was $22,500 from Speaker Howell's Dominion Leadership Trust and Bowling's was $12,500 from Kaine's PAC. Cook also received $1,000 from the Valley Leadership Trust; a PAC formed by Delegates Landes, Saxman, and Cline. Most all donations to each of the candidates were from friends, family and political groups.
It looks like Cook has a good shot here. Even so, it will all come down to turnout.
