Fundraising update: 4th district: an early lead for Shea…

In the race to replace retiring state Rep. Lynn Schindler, R-Otis Orchards, local attorney Matt Shea has a big early lead in fundraising.
Shea, according to financial disclosure reports filed with the state, had raised about $13,500 for the race by late February. Fellow contenders Diana Wilhite ($0) and Ray Denonier ($850) were far behind.
Still, it’s early. And a contested legislative race can easily cost $50,000. The next monthly reports are due in a week.
