GOP Senate candidate Ben Sasse (R-NE) raised $800K in first 8 weeks of campaign

Ben Sasse is on the map.
The Republican from Fremont, Neb., raised a whopping $800,000 in the first eight weeks of his U.S. Senate campaign.
The cash count is an impressive number by any measure, but especially from a political newcomer who is relatively unknown to many Nebraskans and who is making his first bid for statewide office.
In comparison, former U.S. Sen. Bob Kerrey raised $900,000 in the first weeks of his high-profile — although unsuccessful — comeback bid for the U.S. Senate last year.
