THE HILL
Main Street raises $100,000

The Republican Main Street Partnership raised more than $100,000 last week for three centrist GOP lawmakers.
 
The money comes as centrist Republicans have thwarted the leadership's budget cuts and its plans to extend tax cuts.
 
The money will benefit Reps. Jim Kolbe (R-Ariz.), Jeb Bradley (N.H.) and Heather Wilson (R-N.M.), said Ron Talley, the group's spokesman.
 
Talley said the group also raised more than $100,000 earlier this year for GOP Reps. Jim Gerlach (Pa.), Rob Simmons (Conn.), Joe Schwarz (Mich.) and Charlie Dent (Pa.).
