Blackburn’s Big Batch of Out-of-State Cash

72% of dollars supporting Marsha Blackburn’s candidacy for Tennessee Governor come from outside of Tennessee.

The Tennessean reports:

In the Republican primary for Tennessee governor, U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn has out-fundraised her rival U.S. Rep. John Rose, bringing in $2.8 million in contributions – more than 10 times more than Rose’s $259,227 haul.

But while 97% of Rose’s donations came from inside Tennessee, just 28% of Blackburn’s donors live here.
