Taylor, Cox election ad
campaign has cost millions
By SHANNON
McCaffrey
Associated Press Writer
ATLANTA - A barrage
of dueling attack ads that
blanketed Georgia’s air
waves in recent weeks has
cost Lt. Gov. Mark Taylor
and Secretary of State
Cathy Cox millions of dol
lars, according to financial
disclosure reports reviewed
on Tuesday.
The reports show that
Taylor leads Cox in the
overall race for cash but
Cox outpaced Taylor slight
ly in the last three months
leading up to the July 18
Democratic primary for
governor. '
Taylor has raised a total
of $5.5 million, including
a $1 million loan he took
out to boost his campaign
coffers. Cox has raked in
a total of $4.3 million. In
the three-month report
ing period which conclud
ed June 30, Cox took in
$1.36 million to Taylor’s

Taylor spent $4.3 million
in the last three months
and Cox $3.7 million, the
reports showed.
Fundraising totals for
Republican Gov. Sonny
Perdue were not immedi
ately available on Tuesday.
But as of April 10, Perdue
had raised $10.4 million for
his re-election campaign.
While Taylor and Cox
have had to spend heav
ily on ads attacking each
and defending themselves,
Perdue has had the luxury
of running a few television
spots promoting his record.
Many of the pro-Perdue
ads have been funded by
the state Republican Party
which also has millions of
dollars in the bank.
