Campaign finance reports show Republican Congressman Rick Crawford trailed a Democratic challenger in fundraising during the last three months of 2011, but Crawford has more money in the bank for his re-election bid.
Crawford reported Friday that he raised $124,981 during the quarter. That's less than the $125,214 raised by Democratic State Rep. Clark Hall of Marvell. Hall is 1 of 2 Democrats running for the Democratic nomination for Crawford's 1st district seat in east Arkansas.
Crawford has more cash on hand, reporting $277,636 at the end of the quarter. Hall earlier this month reported having $107,044 on hand.
A report was not available Monday for Gary Latanich, who is also seeking the Democratic nomination for the seat.
