 CQPolitics.com - WI 3: Nelson Hopes Voters Have Grown Unkind to Incumbent
Democratic Rep. Ron Kind — after breezing past a series of little-known and underfinanced GOP candidates — drew a more substantial challenger in his bid for a fifth term: state Sen. Dale W. Schultz, whose $531,000 in campaign spending contrasted dramatically with the $12,000 spent by Kind’s 2002 foe.
The 56 percent of the vote that Kind received was his smallest share in any of his re-election contests — but it was 5 points ahead of the 51 percent taken by Democrat John Kerry as he narrowly edged President Bush in the politically competitive and largely rural district.
Kind reported $392,000 in campaign receipts last year and had $457,000 cash on hand as of Dec. 31.
