Kelliher tops $1 million fundraising mark
Democrat Margaret Anderson Kelliher told reporters today that she's raised "more than $1 million" for her campaign for governor.
The public won't know how much Kelliher or the other candidates for governor have raised until July 26th but it's safe to say that Kelliher's campaign war chest won't be as big as two of her DFL Primary opponents. Former legislator Matt Entenza has spent $1.2 million to date on TV ads in the Twin Cities. Former U.S. Sen. Mark Dayton has bought roughly $750,000 in TV ads in the Twin Cities.
Both Entenza and Dayton have said they'll rely on their personal wealth to fund their campaigns. Kelliher is lagging behind Entenza and Dayton in TV ads but she said she'll ramp up the ad spending in the coming weeks.
