Allen reports 1st quarter fundraising
Democratic Rep. Tom Allen reported on Tuesday that he has raised $3.7 million to date in his bid to unseat Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine. He has $2.7 million cash-on-hand.
Allen had raised $2.9 million, and his campaign reported today that he raised $700,000 in the first quarter of 2008. He also has spent $1 million on staff, offices and other expenses.
When the Federal Election Commission makes the information public, we will have a better idea of who that money came from. Last month, Allen raised money in California and, in a last-minute plea before the quarter ended March 31, he wanted to raise $250,000. The numbers will tell us if he met that goal.
Carol Andrews, Allen's spokeswoman, said that the campaign raised an average of $250 from 2,654 contributors.
No word just yet on when Collins plans to release their fundraising numbers. We'll post the information here as soon as we get it.
