Mr Wamp has raised apprommately $40.000 and spent approMmately $20,000 pursuant to his June 30. 1993 FEC report Since there is no pnor campaign debt. this money raised must be for the next election cycle w hich is 1994.

It is true that Ken Meyer is thinking of challenging me for"the nomination. He has been discouaged at every level, but if he decides to rum, we are ready. The numbers are overwhelming decisive. We will win both the primary and the general election by large margins in 1994. My positions are clear. Marilyn Lloyd offers tired, old and evasive rhetoric. I promise committed, compassionate and courageous new leadership. We nearly defeated the nineteen year incumbent in the closest political race of her career in the '92 campaign. We are headed for certain victory in the coming election. The prize is challenging, but indeed within sight. Recent newspaper stories have confirmed Marilyn's proposed appointment. We have included several articles for your review. Marilyn Lloyd's leadership style is to wait, watch and do what is best P. 0.
