John Fetterman’s fund-raising broke a record as he won the nomination for U.S. Senate

Fetterman’s fund-raising has picked up the pace since he won the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in May.

John Fetterman’s cash machine is still rolling — and gaining speed.

The lieutenant governor raised $8.3 million for his U.S. Senate campaign between his Democratic primary win and the end of June, according to campaign figures shared first with The Inquirer.

That was part of a record-setting $11 million haul over April, May, and June, a period almost evenly split between the final stretch of the primary and the start of the general election campaign against Republican nominee Mehmet Oz. Fetterman, however, has already spent most of that money. He had $5.5 million in his campaign fund as of June 30, about $1.3 million more than when April began. And it’s Fetterman’s best quarter, which until now was $4 million.

The $11 million raised (which includes about $1 million that had been disclosed in an earlier report) is the most any U.S. Senate candidate in Pennsylvania has ever raised in a three-month period, according to Fetterman’s campaign, and comes as he and Oz begin what is sure to be one of country’s most important and expensive contests.

3. I wonder if people should

start to focus their donations on House and local elections more than some of these high-profile Senate races.

4. Most of the Governors' seats are on the ballot during the mid-terms.

Those along with state legislative and other seats provide more than have the government over those states, so focussing solely on national elections would be a big mistake.

5. Here in PA we know the importance

of the governor's race and the stakes. Luckily we have an exceptional candidate
