In a statement released today, Lieutenant Governor candidate Tim Murray reports that he raised about $136,000 in March, a substantial improvement over the previous two months in which he raised about $50,000 (February) and $32,000 (January).
The end-of-March reports aren’t out yet, but based on the reports for March 1-15, Andrea Silbert’s previously torrid fundraising may be slowing (she brought in only about $17,000 in that period); Sam Kelley’s may be picking up, though not enough to catch up to his competitors (he raised $11,475); and Murray’s is taking off (he raised over $62,000 in the first half of March, and according to the press release must have raised over $70,000 in the second half).
In addition, Murray says he has secured the pledges of over 15% of the delegates to the June convention – I believe his is the first Lt. Gov. campaign to have made that claim publicly. And he says he’s got 7,000 of the 10,000 signatures needed to get on the ballot.
I think the post is titled “Hello from the Murray Campaign” or something like that. I just commented on it.
but not ’til after I posted this.
If we keep going at this rate, State House News Service, the Globe, the Herald, and AP, and for all I know the Mossad are going to have to start reading BMG to stay up to date!
GBtUSoA!
