Baldwin announces $738,000 raised in 3rd quarter
U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin’s Senate campaign says 93 percent of her recent donors gave $100 or less with an average individual contribution of $71.
Baldwin raised $738,000 during the third quarter, which ended Sept. 30, her campaign said. She had more than $1.5 million in the bank.
“We are honored by the powerful outpouring of support for our campaign to stand up for the middle class, fight for jobs and make sure the voices of the people are heard in Washington above the powerful special interests,” Baldwin said. “It’s clear our message is connecting deeply with voters, and I’m proud to have the support of thousands of people hungry to support a fighter who will stand up for them."
Baldwin, D-Madison, and former U.S. Rep. Mark Neumann, R-Nashotah, are the only Senate candidates who have to file reports for the third quarter. Neumann’s campaign previously announced he has raised more than $300,000.
