Peterson adds $100,000 to campaign coffers

Rep. Collin Peterson raised just over $100,000 in the first three months of this year and now has more than $400,000 in the bank. The 10-term Democrat was the last U.S. House member from Minnesota to file his first-quarter fund-raising figures with the Federal Elections Commission, but apparently made yesterday’s deadline. Peterson would’ve had a pretty good excuse for filing late: his campaign treasurer’s house was recently destroyed by a tornado.
