Republican U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn says she raised $2 million in the last quarter of 2017 in her bid to succeed U.S. Sen. Bob Corker.
A campaign news release Thursday says Blackburn entered the new year with more than $4.6 million cash on hand. She had $3.2 million cash in her House account at the end of September.
The suburban Nashville lawmaker announced she would seek the Senate seat in early October, almost two weeks before former Republican U.S. Rep. Stephen Fincher said he would challenge her.
The Democratic primary path appears clear for former Gov. Phil Bredesen, who announced his campaign in early December.
Corker revealed on Sept. 26 he wouldn't seek re-election.
