Crist’s opening salvo in the U.S. Senate race: $4.3 million in two months
by Michael C. Bender | July 9th, 2009
Gov. Charlie Crist announced today that he raised $4.3 million in 50 days for his U.S. Senate campaign. That’s more than U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek, the Democratic frontrunner has in six months and dwarfs the $340,000 collected by Crist’s primary opponent, former House Speaker Marco Rubio.
The campaign says it hasn’t figured out how much is for the primary campaign and how much is for the general. But what is clear is this shatters Republican Mel Martinez’s Florida fundraising record in Florida of $1.75 million $2.3 million for a U.S. Senate race in a single quarter.
