Lamberth Maintains Big Money Lead

Backed by a host of big money, Nashville special interests, Republican William Lamberth has maintained a big financial lead over his opponent, Steve Glaser, in the race for the open 44th District House seat -- held by Portland's Mike McDonald for the past 18 years.

Lamberth currently has more than $60,000 in cash on hand with donations from a laundry list of PACs and interest groups.

Glaser has been endorsed by the teachers' association and at least one labor group -- and has received contributions from them.  But, his more modest haul reflects donations mainly from individuals.  His cash on hand reported was $14,000.

The final weeks of the campaign have seen the race heat up.  Lamberth's money lead could be the deciding factor.
