Sarah Steelman's Senate Campaign is Dying: Poor Fundraising Month for the Second Quarter in a Row

Sarah Steelman's campaign for US Senate continues to remain lackluster. After a poor first quarter on the campaign trail, Steelman cleaned house and brought in new consultants. The result of that move is she now has less cash on hand than she did after the first quarter of this year.
