Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Kennedy nearly doubles Markey in Q4 fundraising
Discuss the 2020 Democratic primaries here.Senate hopeful Rep. Joe Kennedy (D-Mass.) raised nearly double what Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) raised in the last quarter of 2019, according to the latest Federal Election Commission filings.
Kennedy, who is challenging Markey in the state's Democratic primary, raised $2.3 million in the fourth quarter and ended 2019 with $5.5 million cash on hand.
Markey brought in $1.2 million in the same period and rounded out last year with $4.6 million cash on hand.
Kennedy announced last year that he is challenging Markey in the state's Democratic Senate primary. Kennedy, the grandson of former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, is basing his campaign on his call for generational change in Washington as he faces Markey, who has the backing of the Democratic establishment in Congress.
