LINCOLN- Patty Pansing Brooks said her campaign has passed the million-dollar fundraising mark after her close battle with Republican Mike Flood of Norfolk in a June 28 special election that sent Flood to Congress to fill eastern Nebraska's 1st District House seat.

While Americans are struggling with inflation, Pansing Brooks said, "Washington politicians won't stop the grenade-launching" and focus on issues important to their constituents.

Pansing Brooks, who lost to Flood by 6,234 votes in the special election last month, said she has raised $1,040,172 in campaign funds as of July 18. Rep. Mike Flood raised $1,369,791 during that same time period.

Pansing Brooks reported $353,995 in cash on hand; Flood reported $47,434.

The general election in November will determine who holds the House seat for the next two-year term, beginning in January.

Democrats have not held the 1st District House seat since Clair Callan of Odell won a single term in 1964.
