BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Republican U.S. Senate candidate Duane Sand raised $181,000 in the last three months of last year, and spent almost as much during the same time.

Sand's Federal Election Commission disclosure filing on Thursday shows $164,000 in expenses along with his fundraising totals. Much of it was spent on direct mail.

His report lists about $80,000 cash in the bank at the end of last year and almost $117,000 in debts.

Sand and Republican U.S. Rep. Rick Berg are competing for the GOP endorsement to run for the U.S. Senate.

Berg's report says he had $1.4 million in the bank last Dec. 31.

On the Democratic side, former North Dakota Attorney General Heidi Heitkamp and Tom Potter, a minister and former professor of finance, seek their party's endorsement.
