PORTLAND (AP) — Democratic U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree raised more money for her re-election campaign during the most recent campaign finance period than her Republican rivals for Maine’s 1st Congressional district.

The latest figures for the period from April 1 to May 23 come from campaign finance reports filed Thursday with the Federal Election Commission.

Maine Today Media reports that Pingree’s campaign raised nearly $85,000 during the period.
