Bachmann in ‘most heated race of my political career’
In a fundraising appeal to her "best supporters," 6th District Minnesota Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann says their financial support is "incredibly urgent."
"You see, I am not only fighting back against my opponent, but I am also fighting back against the national Democrat attack machine and liberal "Super PACS" that have targeted my campaign for defeat."
Bachmann's DFL opponent, wealthy hotelier Jim Graves, claims he is gaining ground on the outspoken congresswoman, who ended her GOP presidential campaign in January.
Bachman won her last congressional campaign by more than 12 percentage points.
