Democratic congressional candidate Kendra Horn raised slightly more money than incumbent Republican Rep. Steve Russell over the past three months, a sign the Oklahoma City district could be competitive for the first time in recent memory.

Horn, a political novice from Chickasha, raised $91,140 from July through September, her first fundraising quarter since launching her campaign July 7, according to Federal Election Commission reports. The Horn campaign said 70 percent of its contributions were $100 or less, nearly 95 percent came from within Oklahoma and 70 percent came from women.

“This groundswell of donors — over 500 in the first quarter alone — shows just how ready we are,” Horn said, adding that the congressional district “is tired of partisan bickering and policies that hurt, rather than help working Oklahomans.”

Russell raised $90,938 from July through September, adding to his fundraising totals. FEC figures show he had $155,133 on hand at the end of September.
