Coleman Raises $1.27M In Latest Period

WASHINGTON (AP) ― Sen. Norm Coleman raised $1.27 million over a recent seven-week period, and entered the final months of his campaign with $5.6 million in the bank.
  
Coleman, a Minnesota Republican, will likely face off against DFL challenger Al Franken, who did not immediately make his latest campaign figures available.
  
The figures cover activity from July 1 through August 20. Coleman's latest report, filed Thursday, shows that he spent $2.86 million during the period.
  
Meanwhile, in the state's only open seat, the 3rd Congressional District, Republican candidate Erik Paulsen filed a report Thursday showing he had raised $320,000 during the period, short of the $352,000 that Democrat Ashwin Madia announced raising on Wednesday. Paulsen led in cash on hand, $1.19 million to $931,000. The winner of the race will succeed Republican Jim Ramstad, who is retiring.

Norm Coleman was born in New York City in 1949. Al Franken was born in New York City in 1951.
