Physician Ron Kirkland loaned $250,000 to his campaign for the open House seat in Tennessee's 8th Congressional District last quarter, swelling his campaign coffers to near-parity with those of his chief GOP primary opponent, Stephen Fincher. Kirkland raised an impressive $607,000 in the first three months of the year, in addition to the loan, and had $780,000 on hand to Fincher's $820,000. Kirkland and Fincher are competing with Shelby County Commissioner George Flinn for the right to take on Democratic state Sen. Roy Herron in the district being vacated by retiring Democrat John Tanner. Herron has more than a million dollars on hand.
