Treadwell’s $104,820 raised as of the March numbers puts her just $670 over Horner in total money raised, though her cash on hand advantage exceeds Horner’s by about $12,000 […]

The money race in HD 11 between Sheri Treadwell and Donnie Horner tightened further in January. As Horner’s momentum stalls, Treadwell’s surges.
