Democrat Bert Dodson of Lynchburg said Thursday that he raised more than $100,000 in the first three weeks of his campaign for state Senate in the new 22nd District.
Candidates’ fundraising reports are due to be filed Friday with the State Board of Elections. The reports cover the period ending June 30.
Dodson said he loaned $35,000 to the campaign, and more than 100 individuals contributed to it.
Dodson, a former Lynchburg city councilman and the only Democrat in the race, will face the winner of an Aug. 23 Republican primary in the November general election.
Five candidates are seeking the GOP nomination for the 22nd District, which stretches from northern Lynchburg to Goochland County near Richmond. It includes Amherst and Appomattox counties.
