Interesting numbers from our good friends at ActBlue. It turns out that, of the top ten ActBlue fundraisers in the country in the month of July, three are from Massachusetts. No other state has more than one, and only two presidential candidates make the list (one being Dennis Kucinich).
John Edwards $168,898.95 President Niki Tsongas $17,240.00 MA-05 Eric Massa $16,091.82 NY-29 Dennis Kucinich $15,673.30 President John Kerry $14,664.01 MA-Sen Steve Novick $12,157.30 OR-Sen Tim Johnson $11,324.00 SD-Sen Kay Barnes $10,940.00 MO-06 Tom Harkin $9,901.27 IA-Sen Jamie Eldridge $9,534.10 MA-05
I’m not sure what this means. I just thought it was noteworthy.
Please share widely!
As far as I know, Massachusetts is the only state with a congressional primary next month. Two of our three candidates from ActBlue’s top ten are in that primary. I don’t know what’s going on with Kerry, but I think that Tsongas and Eldridge are up there only because the MA-05 special election is in the near future.
