Emmer campaign raises $785,000 this year
More fundraising numbers are coming out from the gubernatorial campaigns in advance of tomorrow's public disclosure deadline.
Republican Tom Emmer's campaign says it collected a total of nearly $785,347 so far in 2010, with $114,752 raised in 2009.
Of the total, lobbyists contributed $8,000 and political committees gave $18,139.
Emmer ended the period with $296,151 on hand.
"I'm honored so many average Minnesotans have made a contribution to our campaign," Emmer said in a release. "Unlike the self-financed millionaires in this race, we'll need lots of help from a broad base of people to be successful."
