Barrett raised $3.1 million
Tom Barrett’s campaign says he raised more than $3.1 million in the most recent reporting period and had nearly $1.5 million cash on hand.
Barrett’s campaign said he pulled in 26,826 new donors over the last two months and now has 38,090, while 71 percent of his support came from people who live in Wisconsin.
Barrett, who got into the race March 30, has now raised about $3.9 million for the campaign through May 21, the end of the pre-election reporting period. That includes the money he transferred from his mayoral account to his guv fund.
Since May 22, he has collected at least $261,735 in donations of $500 or more, according to filings with the GAB. That pushes him past the $4 million mark.
By comparison, Gov. Scott Walker raised $20.9 million between Jan. 1 and May 21, collected more than $800,000 in late contributions and has pulled in north of $31 million since the beginning of 2011.
