In the wake of yesterday’s finance report deadline, the Wes Moore’s campaign for Maryland governor announced today that it has raised $7.3 million total thus far this cycle, adding $2.5 million since the January fundraising deadline, and enters the final 6 weeks of the crowded primary with $2.1 million cash on hand for the campaign’s final sprint.
“I am a firm believer that you campaign how you govern, and when you look at the energy and momentum around this campaign, when you look at the endorsements we have earned from leaders across this state, and when you look at the support we have received, it is clear that this people-powered movement can win in July, win in November, and bring the urgency and vision Maryland families need to the Governor’s office in Annapolis next year,” Wes Moore said.
Moore and his running mate former Del. Aruna Miller shocked the crowded field in the Maryland governor’s race in January, when he announced that he had raised $4.8 million dollars in the last fundraising cycle, more than double of any other campaign in the crowded field that includes a former chair of the Democratic National Committee and candidates who have spent over 30 years in elected office. The campaign has raised $2.5 million additional dollars in less than five months since that January fundraising deadline.
The full fundraising picture will not become clear until the other campaigns release their reports by midnight on June 14, but at the January fundraising deadline, the Moore-Miller campaign’s fundraising numbers were unparalleled in their small-dollar and grassroots nature, with over 70% of contributions $100 or less, a benchmark the campaign again set with this latest report.
