Northam for Governor Raises Nearly $2 Million, From 3,337 Contributions; Has $1.75 Million On Hand

10

A solid fundraising haul – nearly $2 million in June 2017 by Ralph Northam’s campaign, $4 million combined in 2Q17 by the Stronger Together PAC and Northam for Governor. In comparison, “Enron Ed” Gillespie raised $1.1 million in April/May, with about $2.5 million in hand as of June 1 (and $3.2 million as of the end of June). Also, I went back and checked, and Terry McAuliffe raised about $6 million during the 2nd quarter of 2013, Creigh Deeds raised about $4 million during the 2nd quarter of 2009, and Tim Kaine raised about $3 million in the 2nd quarter of 2005. We also need to see how many millions outside groups contribute, for/against Northam and Gillespie. Let’s just hope this race doesn’t end up costing more than $300 million, which believe it or not is what the Illinois governor’s race could end up costing. Crazy, huh?

“Thanks to the support of thousands of Virginians, the Northam for Governor campaign is ready to take on Ed Gillespie and his Donald Trump agenda in this general election.” said campaign manager Brad Komar. “After coming off of a strong primary victory, Dr. Northam continues to generate new enthusiasm across Virginia as we work together to create economic opportunity for everyone no matter where they live. Voters and grassroots know Ralph will be a brick wall against Donald Trump and the outside the mainstream Trump-Gillespie agenda that hurts Virginians.”
