With the race for Chief
Justice just a few weeks away, Democratic Judge Robert Vance pulls ahead of
former Chief Justice Roy Moore in campaign cash.
 |
| Judge Robert "Bob" Vance |
Judge Robert Vance only
has been in the race less than 60 days after replacing attorney Harry Lyons on
the ballot by the Alabama Democratic Party.
This race is clearly a race on leadership. Jefferson County Circuit Judge Robert Vance,
Jr. has $433,910 in his campaign coffers going into the peak of campaign
season. Moore has only $192,894.
Moore's largest September
contributors included $25,000 from Pete Hana of Hana Steel, $10,000 from
Tuscaloosa developer Stan Pate and $20,000 from Michael Peroutka, who was the
Constitution Party candidate for president in 2004, according to campaign reports
filed today.
Vance's larger individual
donations included $5,000 from T Michael and Gillian Goodrich; $5,000 from the
law firm of Heninger, Garrison and Davis LLC and $7,500 from Franklin PAC,
which received money from a Birmingham lawyer and other sources.
Voters and Citizens of Alabama remember Roy Moore for his controversial stand and refusal to remove the Ten
Commandments monument from the Supreme Court building. And he was ousted from
office.
