Mary Kim Titla has raised over $100,000 from Native American tribes in Arizona and nationwide, according to a statement put out by the campaign Thursday.

"From coast to coast tribes such as Soboba Band of Mission Indians in California and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in North Carolina as well as her own tribe, the San Carlos Apache Nation are among those who have enthusiastically endorsed Mary Kim Titla for Congress," said the release, which announced that Native sources have so far contributed $101,000 to her campaign. 

The former television reporter and publisher is attempting to become the first Native American woman to be elected to the U.S. Congress. However, her first challenge will be to get past the better-funded and Party-backed Ann Kirkpatrick in the 1st Congressional District Democratic primary.
