Camp Capuano announced in a press release this evening that it has raised more than $1.8 million for the reporting period, and retains more than $1.1 million cash on hand. The campaign reported spending more than $2 million since the campaign began.
In a statement Capuano said:
"I am energized by the growing number of people who are giving what they can to this campaign. People are donating online, making small contributions and offering to host events in their communities. We are raising the funds necessary to win this election.
This growing financial support from Democrats and independents across the state is a great indicator of how well we are doing with those primary voters who are the most engaged. Among those serious voters who are following the race most closely, and who are most likely to come out on Election Day, we are seeing our support continue to grow."Capuano's Massachusetts finance chair Kristin Demong added, “Donations large and small are coming in from all over the Commonwealth representing supporters from all walks of life. People are donating because they believe in Mike and they believe in his candidacy. We are well positioned for victory as we head into the last few weeks of this Primary campaign.”
I will continue to post financial results from the campaigns as I receive them.

I had heard that Capuano was getting alot of money from Washington cronies instead of from inside the state. Is that true?
I'm not getting how Coakley is sliding and Capuano is up if she raised more money than he did, whether it was 1.9 million or over 4 million. In either case, she is way ahead of him cumulatively and continues in the lead for the second reporting period. This is especially significant because we know that the old boys' network is definitely kicking in.
Ellen, I think that perception comes from the trends. In the first reporting period (just about four weeks), she raised $2.2 million to his $300K - just destroyed him. In this period (about seven weeks), she raised $1.9 million to his $1.8 million, so she saw a minor dip in the rate of donations, while he saw a huge increase.
