JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Republican Roy Blunt has widened his financial advantage over Democrat Robin Carnahan as the two leading
contenders for Missouri's U.S. Senate seat enter the 2010 election year.
New campaign finance reports show Blunt, a congressman from southwest Missouri, took in more than $1.3 million during the final three months of 2009. After expenses, he reported more than $2.9 million available as he began 2010.
Carnahan, who is Missouri's secretary of state, reported bringing in about $877,000 during the last quarter of 2009. After expenses, Carnahan reported having about $2.1 million at the beginning of this year.
Blunt and Carnahan both want to succeed longtime Republican Sen. Kit Bond, who is not running for re-election this year.
