Berg campaign raises $383,000 
Republican U.S. House candidate and Fargo legislator Rick Berg raised nearly $383,000 during the first quarter of 2010 — a feat the North Dakota GOP director calls “one of the most successful first-period fundraising efforts by a congressional challenger in North Dakota history.”
But, while his campaign touts it as an “outstanding” start, Berg is still a long way from matching Democratic incumbent Earl Pomeroy, who entered 2010 with more than $1.3 million in his campaign war chest.
First-quarter contributions to Pomeroy’s campaign were not available Monday.
