Marty releases fundraising totals
John Marty, a DFL candidate for Governor, announced he raised $30,000 for his campaign for governor. Here's part of the release:
After announcing an exploratory campaign for Governor in late December 2008, Minnesotans for Marty raised nearly $30,000 in just over one week. This success came while rejecting lobbyist and PAC contributions and limiting individual contributions to $100 through the exploratory campaign. This contribution limit is consistent with Senator Marty's strong commitment to campaign finance reform and building a grassroots base. The fundraising numbers are especially impressive given these funds were raised in just nine days, including the Christmas holiday.
