Fifth District: Roraback, Roberti Shovel In Their Dough In Final Weekend

The Fifth District race keeps getting more expensive for the candidates.

According to FEC filings made public over the weekend, Republican Andrew Roraback put the first of his own money toward his campaign with a $25,000 contribution that comes on the heels of negative television ads being run against him by a super PAC. He faces GOP rivals Lisa Wilson-Foley, Mark Greenberg and Justin Bernier in the Tuesday vote.

And in campaign finance filings of his own, Democrat Dan Roberti continued a recent spate of cash infusions, this time adding $15,000 to his bid for the seat. That brings his total for the primary campaign to about $902,000. He’s vying for the Democratic nod along with Chris Donovan and Elizabeth Esty.
