Murphy Raises $335K This Quarter

In a statement released by the campaign today, State Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Cheshire) is announcing that he has raised $335,000 for the quarter, and has $650,000 cash on hand.
More than seven months before Election Day, Murphy had already raised more than any other non-incumbent challenger to Johnson has ever raised in the entire campaign.
...
Detailed financial reports are required to be filed with the Federal Elections Commission on April 15, 2006. Murphy’s campaign reported that since the start of his campaign less than one year ago:

  • Over 2,000 separate contributors have given to his campaign

  • Over 75% of the total funds raised were contributed by individuals

  • Nearly 90% of the individuals who contributed are from Connecticut


  • “This campaign is building momentum daily,” said Sarah Merriam, Murphy’s campaign manager. “Last quarter, we raised almost exactly the same amount from individual contributors in Connecticut as Nancy Johnson did. We’re proud that 1,750 individual people here in Connecticut have now made financial contributions to this campaign, and hundreds more have given of their time and energy.”
    (Murphy)
    This is good news for the Murphy campaign. Johnson raised $309,000 last quarter, no word on what she's raised this quarter yet.

    LMAO,

    Poor Guys are so desperste for headlines the'll both say just about anything but they're also still too chickenshit to say the 4 words that embrace the base and assure the nomination.


    Repeat after me,
    Commit or Quit Senator

    All those overpaid and under worked staffers and they can't figure out whats right in front of them.

    Patricia Rice,

    You've not made one comment that shows you've got a clue about anything political going on in this state.
    How about giving us the names of say 2 or 3 People with an R after their names who could possibly make a serious run for Senate.
