The only two senators to outraise our client, Rep. Billy Beasley (D-Clayton) are the powerful chairmen of the Rules Committee and the Finance and Taxation General Fund Committee.

This is a strong testament to Rep. Beasley’s reputation, hard work, and dedication to becoming the next Senator from Senate District 28. After yesterday’s revelation that he was far outpacing all of his potential opponents for the open seat, the fact that Rep. Beasley has done better than 33 sitting state senators undoubtedly propels him to frontrunner status, and makes him the “smart money” choice to be the next senator!
