Scott Brown’s campaign said this evening that he raised $5 million in the most recent fund-raising quarter, his best to date in a Senate race, but short of rival Elizabeth Warren’s $8.67 million haul over the same period.
Both candidates are among the top money raisers in the country, with Warren leading all congressional candidates as of April.
According to the campaign, Brown has a total of $15.5 million in the bank, compared with Warren’s $13.5 million.
Brown’s campaign said today that two-thirds of his donations came from inside the state, a figure that is intended to draw a contrast with Warren, who has raised the majority of her itemized contributions (those over $200) from out of state.
