Linda Coleman, the best-known Democratic challenger to Rep. George Holding of Raleigh, raised less than $25,000 in the last three months of 2017, according to federal election data. Coleman, who lost statewide races for lieutenant governor in 2012 and 2016, entered the race in October. In the fourth quarter of the year, she raised $24,058.21, which includes a $1,500 candidate loan. She has more than $20,000 cash on hand. Coleman attributed the low totals to her late start and the holiday period.
