Dem trying to unseat Michigan's Amash raised $100K in 1 week

2019-07-17 01:00 Last Updated At:01:10

The Democrat running to replace Michigan Rep. Justin Amash says she raised $100,000 in the first week since announcing her campaign.

Attorney Hillary Scholten of Grand Rapids joined the race last week, days after Amash said he was leaving the Republican party and would seek re-election as an Independent.

Amash had been the only Republican in Congress to call for impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump. Several Republicans, angered by his Trump criticism, had launched campaigns to defeat him in the GOP primary.

Amash reported Monday he raised about $177,000 between April and June. Republican state Rep. Jim Lower raised about $184,000 between his mid-May launch and June 30.

The three-way race has made the western Michigan district a top opportunity for Democrats to gain a House seat in 2020.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Sebastián Driussi scored in the 87th minute, Brad Stuver recorded his fourth clean sheet and Austin beat the Houston Dynamo 1-0 on Wednesday night for its second series victory this season.

Austin (5-4-4) secured its fourth consecutive home victory and its fifth clean sheet of the season.

Houston (5-5-2) has just one win in its last five games, a stretch that includes a three-game winless skid.

Austin had two shots hit off the frame in the opening 20 minutes when Diego Rubio's shot went off the crossbar and Alex Ring's shot bounced off the post.

Driussi scored his team-high fourth goal of the season when he cleaned up a loose ball following a corner kick.

The announced attendance of 20,738 marked the 60th consecutive MLS home sellout for Austin, extending the league’s longest active streak.
