Madia raises nearly $1 million in latest quarter
DFL 3rd District congressional candidate Ashwin Madia's latest quarterly fundraising haul was his biggest, yet. This is still more proof that the race to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Jim Ramstad, R-Minn., is one of the hottest in the country.
Madia raised $997,632 between July 1 and Sept. 30, according to a press release his campaign handed out today. That tops the previous quarter, when Madia pulled in a little less than $700,000.
Overall, he's raised more than $2.1 million, but Madia's campaign did not say how much of that he has left.
Madia will have to reveal how much cash he has on hand by Oct. 15. That's the deadline for campaigns to file their fundraising reports with Federal Election Commission.
