SALISBURY — Campaign finance reports filed April 18 show congressional candidates in the 13th District raised nearly $2.2 million for the May primary.

Democratic challenger Kathy Manning raised the most at nearly $1.3 million.

Of this, about 95 percent was from individual contributions and 5.5 percent from Democratic Party and other committee contributions.

“I’m proud of our campaign’s strength and continued momentum to bring change to Washington,” said Manning. “We’ve traveled across the 13th District, and one thing is clear: People are tired of … the dysfunction of Washington.”

Incumbent Republican Rep. Ted Budd was unopposed during the primary, but he reported more than $877,000 in receipts between Jan. 1, 2017, and April 18.

For Budd, about 47.5 percent of the money raised was from individual contributions and about 44 percent was from committee contributions or transfers from other authorized committees. The remaining 8.4 percent came from loans from Budd and offsets to operating expenditures.

Adam Coker, the Democratic challenger who lost to Manning in the primary, accepted the least in terms of committee contributions: a mere 0.18 percent of his $55,475 in receipts.

That came in a $100 transfer from the Committee to Elect Kay Cashion Commissioner.

No campaign finance data is yet available for Tom Bailey, a Libertarian candidate who was unopposed in the primary.

Manning won the Democratic nomination with 70 percent of the vote. Some observers attributed her win to support from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, a national organization.

In early May, delegates from the 13th District Democratic Party passed a resolution likening the committee’s endorsement of Manning to an outside force interfering in a local election.

But the committee’s support came more in publicity than financial support: it contributed $7,895 to Manning’s campaign between Jan. 24 and March 31 of this year, a mere 0.62 percent of her total receipts.

Manning and Budd will face off in the November election with local support.

Manning received $5,400 from Fred Stanback and $250 from Edward Norvell, both of Salisbury.

Budd received $1,500 from Matt Barr, $1,000 from Dyke Messinger, $2,000 from Tom Smith, $500 from David Hurst and $250 from Steven Fisher, all of Salisbury.
